# Table ID

 * Hi Tobias,
 * I have searched the topics and couldn’t find an answer.
    Each time I create or
   copy a table, the new one is given a new ID. If I delete it, the next table I
   create will have an ID which is incremented by one. Is there a way to change 
   the ID of the tables? It would be easier (for example) to change the CSS for 
   every second table in a page of hundreds of tables.
 * Thank you
 * Best regards Lars Nygaard

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, you can change the ID of each table on its “Edit” screen in the top section.
   
   You could either give a different number, or even text like “product-list” or
   something like that (letters, numbers, and the hyphen `-` are allowed).
 * Regards,
    Tobias
