Several "Header" rows for one single table

    Hey guys, was wondering if anyone knew how I could make it so that a table has several rows that look like a header row? I’m not looking for it to behave like a header row, since I disable the option “Top row is a header row”.

    Basically the table I have is going to serve as a profile template for many users, and I want it so that each “section” has a bold section header (see here) and scroll down to the table that’s on the left. For example, I would like the “References” “Team Accomplishments”, etc…rows to have a different background color and font color.

    I know I can do this with custom CSS by just using the table and row ID, but the issue is that our clients will have the option to add/delete rows at their discretion, so targeting the table row ID won’t work in that case.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    My apologies, just read a little bit more in-depth on http://tablepress.org/faq/highlight-cells-or-content/

    Just going to make a span class for each false-header row and do it that way.

    Nothing to see here….. *whistles and walks away slowly*

    Bahh just kidding, still not working as the span class won’t let me modify the actual row in the custom css.

    I gave the cell/row I’m trying to modify the span of:
    ‘<span class=”false-header”>- REFERENCES -</span>’

    and in my custom css I have:
    ‘.tablepress .false-header {
    color: #fff !important;
    font-weight: bold !important;
    font-size: 16px !important;
    }’

    ‘.tablepress .false-header td {
    background-color: #e51837 !important;
    }’

    but the second css doesn’t work. And when I do background-color in the first css, it just adds a highlight effect to the text, not the entire row.

    Any advice?

    Hi,

    sorry that you have not received a reply so far. I’m on vacation at the moment and therefore can’t be active in the forums. I’ll take an in-depth look once I return in a couple days, but need to ask for patience until then.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    thanks for your patience. I’m back from vacation now and was not able to take a look.

    The CSS solution that you found in the FAQ there (the one without the <span> elements) is the way to go here. Unfortunately, that is indeed mean that the CSS will have to be adjusted after the client adds rows.
    A workaround could be to use automatic highlighting using a TablePress Extension. For details, please see http://wordpress.org/support/topic/highlight-a-row-based-on-value?replies=16
    With that, you could add a new hidden column to the table and use some keyword to make a row a “header” row.
