Table color formatting

[nkronberg]

I'm having some difficulty determining whether this is actually a supported feature or not.
All I'm trying to do is define colors for a table (text color and background). The text color takes just fine, but the assigned background color appears for an instant when the page loads and then changes to a light whitish color.

I would like the text color to be Aquamarine and the background color to be DarkSlateGray:

Here is the code I used to generate it. I'll fully admit I'm just trying all sorts of combinations here to see what works.

New-HTML -ShowHTML -HtmlData {

    New-HTMLTable -DataTable $table -HideFooter -HideButtons {
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor DarkSlateGray -TextColor Aquamarine
        New-HTMLTableCondition -ComparisonType string -Name 'Enabled' -Operator eq -Value 'False' -Color Red
    } -DisablePaging
    
}

It seems to color the table header but not the actual content of the table itself. The only way I could actually get it to work was with a New-HTMLTableCondition negating the other table condition and applying it to the entire line with the -Line parameter. But this is less than ideal. I'd rather the colors I choose be applied to the table by default, and then have conditional formatting come in later to alter any individual fields.

Thanks in advance!

I need to review if this needs fixing - a workaround would be to use New-TableContent as shown #120 but with a performance impact.

I'll take a look at the code and try to make sure what you're trying to achieve works.

Thank you! I've been scratching my head on this since it seems to appear the correct way for just an instant, I wonder if it's just getting just overwritten by other formatting code.

$Table = Get-Process | Select-Object -First 3
New-HTML -ShowHTML -HtmlData {
    New-HTMLTable -DataTable $table -HideButtons {
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Yellow -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowOdd
        New-HTMLTableStyle -BackgroundColor Red -TextColor Aquamarine -Type Button
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor DarkSlateGray -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowEven
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor DarkSlateGray -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type Row
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor DarkSlateGray -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type Header
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Orange -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type Footer
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Orange -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowSelectedEven
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Green -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowSelectedOdd
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Yellow -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowHover
        New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Red -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowHoverSelected
        New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Header -BorderLeftStyle dashed -BorderLeftColor Red -BorderLeftWidthSize 1px
        New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Footer -BorderLeftStyle dotted -BorderLeftColor Red -BorderleftWidthSize 1px
        New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Footer -BorderTopStyle none -BorderTopColor Red -BorderTopWidthSize 5px -BorderBottomColor Yellow -BorderBottomStyle solid
        New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Footer -BorderTopStyle none -BorderTopColor Red -BorderTopWidthSize 5px -BorderBottomColor Yellow -BorderBottomStyle solid
        New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Footer -BorderTopStyle none -BorderTopColor Red -BorderTopWidthSize 5px -BorderBottomColor Yellow -BorderBottomStyle none
    } -DisablePaging
} -FilePath $PSScriptRoot\Example7_TableStyle.html -Online

It should now work fine with the new version. I've also added multiple other customization options.

Thank you! I will give it a try.

It works great now. Thanks for all your work on this module!

There's one thing tho. New-HTMLTableStyle for now is global. It means you don't just set it per table... you set it globally. That means that function doesn't have to be used within New-HTMLTable but outside. It right now modifies global CSS.

I need to find a way to configure it per table, so it may change in the near future. Right now it makes more sense to use it this way - as I acts as a global setter rather than per table setter.

$Table = Get-Process | Select-Object -First 3
New-HTML -ShowHTML -HtmlData {

    New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Yellow -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowOdd
    New-HTMLTableStyle -BackgroundColor Red -TextColor Aquamarine -Type Button
    New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor DarkSlateGray -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowEven
    New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor DarkSlateGray -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type Row
    New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor DarkSlateGray -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type Header
    New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Orange -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type Footer
    New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Orange -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowSelectedEven
    New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Green -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowSelectedOdd
    New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Yellow -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowHover
    New-HTMLTableStyle -FontFamily 'Calibri' -BackgroundColor Red -TextColor Aquamarine -TextAlign center -Type RowHoverSelected
    New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Header -BorderLeftStyle dashed -BorderLeftColor Red -BorderLeftWidthSize 1px
    New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Footer -BorderLeftStyle dotted -BorderLeftColor Red -BorderLeftWidthSize 1px
    New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Footer -BorderTopStyle none -BorderTopColor Red -BorderTopWidthSize 5px -BorderBottomColor Yellow -BorderBottomStyle solid
    New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Footer -BorderTopStyle none -BorderTopColor Red -BorderTopWidthSize 5px -BorderBottomColor Yellow -BorderBottomStyle solid
    New-HTMLTableStyle -Type Footer -BorderTopStyle none -BorderTopColor Red -BorderTopWidthSize 5px -BorderBottomColor Yellow -BorderBottomStyle none
    
    New-HTMLTable -DataTable $table -HideButtons {

    } -DisablePaging
