CSS Table Styles: Does it work?

Alan Newson · 12-10-2011, 12:05 AM

Hi, I'm trying to format a table within my ePub document using a linked CSS file. When I view it in iBooks the formatting is lost. Is it possible to format a table using a linked CSS file that keeps its formatting?

If you mean with a linked CSS file a CSS reference in the <head></head> tags, sure. Perhaps not on iBooks, but on all normal readers it will work.

Thanks. It is iBooks that I'm trying to create this for, and it seems to drop styles from linked css files. I've got round it by using internal styles.

It is known that iBooks has problem with external stylesheets for some features. They would rather have you repeat things in internal stylesheets.
