  I am trying to make this table background to be transparent: http://whywebsphere.com/2015/09/10/application-auto-scaling-in-the-bluemix-vs-openshift/

  I have a premium subscription and added this to the table

  <table class=”roman_table”>

  and to custom CSS snippet:

  .roman_table {
  background-color: transparent;
  }

  yet the background color of the table is still grey – how do I make it transparent?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi romankharkovski,

  It seems like your css snippet is being overridden.

  Try using !important, it may work.

  .roman_table {
  background-color: transparent !important;
  }

  For some reason the transparent value is not working. I don’t know why.

  You can use white, which is the same color as the background. I’m not sure if this is the look you want, but try this.

  table.roman_table td{
  
  	background:white
  }

  Hopefully it helps.
