I am a new user. I have two questions:

1. The entries-per-page selector and the search box are visually attached to the table. So I wanted to style the table, giving it a margin-top of 15px.
I experimented with the content of the CSS Styles in the module settings, but whatever I do, I see no change. So, I must have used the wrong syntax.
I use Advanced styling and ARI Data Table type.

2. My table is 14 columns wide. I show only 6 of those, allowing the user to select the proper entry. When he clicks on a table row, I want to display the full content, ie. the content of the 14 columns in a format, such as:
column heading 0: <content of column0 of the selected row>
column heading 1: <content of column1 of the selected row>
etc. for all 14.
This could be in a popup window when clicking the row or the leftmost cell of the row, or could be a tooltip when hovering over the row.
I saw a similar older post in the forum, but that never came to a conclusion.

Can you put me on the right track with both questions?
Thanks.

Hello,

1. Could you send an image where we can see what do you want to achieve?

2. You can read how to create primary and secondary tables here. If you want to show table with details in a popup, it can be done with help of ARI Sexy Lightbox extension.

On both points:
1. Image of current situation:


The selection box for nr of entries per page and the search box are too close to the table.
So, I need some whitespace above the table, under the boxes. I guess styling the table with margin-top: 15px; would do it. How can I set the style for the table in the CSS Styles box in the module settings?

2. I will experiment with your suggestions from the older post.

1. Add the following CSS rule to "CSS Styles" parameter in module settings:

{$id}_wrapper .dataTables_length,
{$id}_wrapper .dataTables_filter {
margin-bottom: 15px;
}

That works. Thanks for the quick response!

For my personal interest: is there a way to style the table itself from the CSS Styles parameter?

Custom CSS rules which are added to "CSS Styles" parameter will be loaded on pages where the module is loaded.
