# YUI Library Examples: DataTable Control (beta): Skinning Model

# DataTable Control (beta): Skinning Model

This example demonstrates the CSS applied to an implementation of the DataTable control that uses the "Sam Skin". You can read more about the general approach to skinning YUI components in this in-depth article. Change any or all of the skin CSS (but not the core CSS) for a more customized look and feel.

## Sample Code

DOM Overview:

<div class="yui-dt"> <div class="yui-dt-hd"> <table> <caption>[caption]</caption> <thead> <tr class="yui-dt-first yui-dt-last"> <th class="yui-dt-resizeable yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-first yui-dt-hidden"> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key]"> <span class="yui-dt-label"> <a href="yui-dt0-sort0-ascending" title="Click to sort ascending" class="yui-dt-sortable">[label]</a> </span> <div class="yui-dt-resizer"></div> </div> </th> ... <th class="yui-dt-resizeable yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-last"> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key]"> <span class="yui-dt-label"> <a href="yui-dt0-sort4-ascending" title="Click to sort ascending" class="yui-dt-sortable">[label]</a> </span> <div class="yui-dt-resizer"></div> </div> </th> </tr> </thead> </table> </div> <div class="yui-dt-bd"> <table> <thead> <tr> <th> <div> <span>[label]</span> </div> </th> .... <th> <div> <span>[label]</span> </div> </th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr class="yui-dt-even yui-dt-first yui-dt-selected"> <td class="yui-dt-first yui-dt-hidden"> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeabl"> [data] </div> </td> <td > <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeabl"> [data] </div> </td> <td> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeable"> [data] </div> </td> <td> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeable"> [data] </div> </td> <td class="yui-dt-last"> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeable"> [data] </div> </td> </tr> ... <tr class="yui-dt-odd yui-dt-last"> <td class="yui-dt-first yui-dt-hidden"> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeable"> [data] </div> </td> <td> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeable"> [data] </div> </td> <td> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeable"> [data] </div> </td> <td> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeable"> [data] </div> </td> <td class="yui-dt-last"> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-col-[key] yui-dt-sortable yui-dt-resizeable"> [data] </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> <tbody> <tr class="yui-dt-first yui-dt-last"> <td class="yui-dt-first yui-dt-last"> <div class="yui-dt-liner yui-dt-loading"> Loading data... </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div>
