SharePoint - "Edit in Datasheet" CSS

Asked By Jeff Adams

Does anyone know what the CSS class name is in 2007 for the "Edit in
Datasheet" background colors?

I typically use the IE Developer toolbar or the Firebug extension in
Firefox to find the CSS class names but in this case nothing works.

Thanks.

I think I've fixed my problem, hopefully this helps you too.

The only way I could get the background color in the datasheet view to
change was to change the color on the  element. That meant I
needed another element that was unique enough I could target it with
CSS yet still wrapped the entire contents of the page.

Looking through the source code there is always a form tag (common with
.net I suppose) with the id="aspnetForm" just inside the body.

So I set the CSS in my theme like this:

body {
/* fake background color for ActiveX items like "Edit in Datasheet */
background-color: white;
}

form#aspnetForm {
/* real background color for the site */
background-color: #002842;

/* to be sure it fills the whole page vertically */
height: 100%;
}

Voila! White background for the datasheet views and other ActiveX
controls but still a dark blue background for the site as a whole.

Voila indeed!!

Seems to do the trick for me too. I only changed one thing; we are
using a background image, so I had to make the aspnetform color
transparent.

Thanks for the fix mate!!

Where exactly did you add the tags and in what file.
Can you provide with an example.

Thanks
