Re: Format DataList

I've come across this behaviour too when using HTML table objects in a
DataList template. It is the default back colour of the table that is
rendered rather than that of the template.

I presume the table is there to control positioning within the
template. On the occasion when I did this I ended up abandoning this
method in favour of setting the width and height of the databound
labels to effect positioning because with the table they wouldn't line
properly with the the header.

If you need to use a table and don't want the back color to dominate,
try setting the back color of the table to transparent.

Good luck
