# table options and Javascript text color

 * is it possible to change the color of text which reads
    “Search” … “Show ?? entries”…
   and “Showing ?? to ?? of ?? entries”
 * This text appears outside the Excel table.
    Consequently, I am thinking the color
   might be controlled by javascript rather than CSS?
 * Any help will be much appreciated …

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The color is actually controlled by CSS, but whether these elements exist on 
   the page is controlled by JavaScript code.
    Can you please post a link to the
   page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look?
   Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the link! To change the colors on the page, I recommend to add this
   to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .dataTables_length,
       .dataTables_filter,
       .dataTables_info,
       .dataTables_paginate a {
       	color: #ff0000 !important;
       	font-weight: bold;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
