I have a table1 within a table2 within a form. I would like to
progamatically change the color of table1 in my aspx.vb code based on
conditions. How do I connect to the table's properties?

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>

        <table class="style1">
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <table class="style1">
                        <tr>
                            <td style="background-color: #009900">
<<----- I neeed to change this.
                                 </td>
                            <td>
                                 </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                 </td>
                            <td>
                                 </td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </td>
                <td>
                     </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
                     </td>
                <td>
                     </td>
            </tr>
        </table>

    </div>
    </form>

You can add the attributes runat="server" id="MyCell", and then address
the cell from the server side, setting the BgColor property. Your code
then would be MyCell.BgColor=Color.Red, as an example.

Out of curiosity, why are you using HTML tables rather than asp.net tables?

That may be a good question. I've been tasked with building simple
page, but this is my first asp.net. Kind of learning as I go. I'll
look into the asp.net table.

Thanks.
