Customising Data Sheet View

Question

I'm using SharePoint 2007, with custom list.

I'm using Content Editor web part in order to design my list.

{In my list the row color determined through the item ststus. e.g: If the status equal to "NOT STARTED" the row color is red, if the row status is "COMPLETED" so the row color is green, etc..}

My question is: I succeeded to implement it only on a custom list in standard view. Is it possible to implement it on data sheet view.

Answer 1

Customisations to the Data Sheet View are not supported, as this is generated using the Microsoft Office Access Web Datasheet Component, which renders the grid using the same base engine as the data sheet view that Microsoft Access uses.

Answer 2

you can use the following css in Content editor webpart to change the look and feel different for Datasheet view of sharepoint

<style>
BODY {
    BACKGROUND: #d3d3d3
}
FORM#aspnetForm {
    BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff

}</style>

or

form#aspnetForm{ 
background-color:#000; 
height: 100%; 
text-align: center; 
} 
body{ 
background-color:#FFF; 
text-align: center; 
} 
.ms-main{ 
margin:0 auto; 
width: 980px; 
background-color:#FFF; 
} 
#mainTable{ 
width: 100%; 
}
