Hi Mike,
Well at the moment the plugin adds to (not replaces) the style on the element, so it may be that you need to either

1) place the .highlight rule after (or is it before?) your .odd rule, so it has a higher precedence
2) mark .highlight’s background-color as !important (background-color: gray !important;) in the CSS
3) I could maybe look at adding a “replace” option to the plugin (but I’d rather not!)

Let me know how you get on.

Dave

Hi, I thing i found little css bug,
for example when i definned the css color for table row via

tr .odd
{
background-color: aqua;
}

your style “switcher” will not switch the aqua color with highlighted color for example defined in

.highlight {
background-color: gray;
}

So the odd wors remain aqua. Can you test this ?
Thanks o lot Mike
