you can use adjacent-selectors http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#adjacent-selectors td {background:#ccc;} /* all tds */ td + td {background:#f00;} /* first td in a row */ td + td + td {background:#0f0;} /* 2nd td in a row */ td + td + td + td {background:#00f;} /* 3rd (and any after) td in a row */ however, you'll might run into some logic issues, depending on your needs. You should be able to get round this if the table has a class. Still, doing that on 600 pages will be easier. ie table.myclass td + td + td + td {background:pink;} however..sob sob...this wont work in IE. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
