I have already created the table, text inside etc. Now I want to change the color of one of the cells. I know this is probably a very stupid question and I have been trying for 2 hours, so please help but dont laugh.
Thanks

In the <td> of the desired cell, add the option bgcolor="#ff0000" (or whatever colour you wish).

I'm sorry, but you lost me there. Are you taking VSD or HTML Editor?

Hi Ace,
Alittle more info is needed if you don't mind, for example how did you place the table into VSD(visual Site Designer)? did you use an html editer and copy the code into VSD using the html tool? if so then you should be able to add Peter's suggestion there or in your html editor and recopy/paste the code back into VSD.

Just as Bruce indicated, you must have then created the table elsewhere and pasted the code into an HTML box in VSD. So, you need to either go back to whatever was used to generate the code to add the background colour in, or manually edit the code in the HTML box by finding the correspoding <td> for the cell in question and add the bkcolor keyword in, e.g.
<tr><td bgcolor="#ff0000">this cell becomes red</td><td>this is cell 2 and doesn't change colour</td></tr>

This thread got really close to answering my question.
I am using HTML Editor 2008
I want to use the Visual Editor to change the background color of a cell in a table already created using the Visual Editor. I know that the Table Designer can do it at the time of table creation. It seems like a natural feature for a visual editor but I can't figure out how to do it. Any hope?

This only seems to work if the cell is empty.
Click in the cell. At the bottom the editor you'll see 4 buttons. Click the first one, "BG Color...", and select the color you'd like.

Thank you!
I had seen that box when I selected the entire table and assumed they applied only to the entire table. After that I didn't notice that box had changed when a cell is selected. I looked right past it.
Thanks again.
