[SOLVED] how to set a field to different colour in list

Hi Krileon,

I got the field format bit to work fine.

Now trying to format a column in a list. I want to make the entire column right justified.

The column has an input box labelled CSS Class.

I named this box: "Court_Column_1"

Then added the following to my template.css file:

Court_Column_1 {
text_align: right;
}

But no effect. Clearly I am naming it wrongly, as before. How do I find the name?

I tried inspect element with the table displayed. This is the 'outer' html for the first row / first column:
Michael John Orr, MA(Oxon)Master
2015
2015

From this it looks like my name is correctly being applied to the object. So how and where do I put the format code?

Thanks,

Andrew

Sorry should be

.Court_Column_1 {
text_align: right;
}

It still dousn't change anything but it does appear when I inspect element - only crossed out with a yellow alert sign next to it.

Your CSS is not valid. text_align does not exist. It's text-align. See the below for CSS learning resources.

Well spotted Sir.
