Formatting columns in a table

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
You can add a css class to the table! You need to use the Table Classes table template.

Code:

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller
{

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->load->library('table');

        $tmpl = array (
            'table_open'         => '<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">',

            'thead_open'         => '<thead>',
            'thead_close'        => '</thead>',

            'heading_row_start'  => '<tr>',
            'heading_row_end'    => '</tr>',
            'heading_cell_start' => '<th>',
            'heading_cell_end'   => '</th>',

            'tbody_open'         => '<tbody>',
            'tbody_close'        => '</tbody>',

            'row_start'          => '<tr>',
            'row_end'            => '</tr>',
            'cell_start'         => '<td>',
            'cell_end'           => '</td>',

            'row_alt_start'      => '<tr class="alt">',   // See class added here!
            'row_alt_end'        => '</tr>',
            'cell_alt_start'     => '<td>',
            'cell_alt_end'       => '</td>',

            'table_close'        => '</table>'
        );

        $this->table->set_template($tmpl);
    }

}

I am using a MY_Controller but should work in a regular Controller.

For formatting you can use the php sprintf method.
