[pmwiki-users] Styling table cells

[Ian MacGregor]

You're welcome. One thing I've found over the years.. with PmWiki there's always a way :)

This styling trick actually comes from Petko. I wanted to remove the button from one (:searchbox:) but not all of them on the site and Petko gave me this:

(CSS file)
.nobtn .searchbox {display: none;}

(in a wiki page)
>>nobtn<<
(:searchbox:)
>><<

It was pure genius!
