Changing table background colour in datalist

Hi

{Basically, i'm trying to achieve 'Tab' like appearance in my webpage, if you have any better way of coding this, apart from below my explanation, please suggest}


how to access the 'table' control created within the 'DataList' control as i need to update theh table property. Code is attached below...(i'm using VS2005, C# in the project)

I need to change the background of 'cHeader' in the below code, while i'm doing the databind operation 'ItemDataBound' event of the datalist control...but how to access this control from the page-behind code?

1 cHeader.CssClass = "class_name"; -- this does not work... it erros, saying 'cHeader' is unknown...

2 e.Item.FindControl("cHeader") inside the event returned "Null" ...


Cheers
Venu
