Hi @power12,

If you give your panels IDs, then you can specify them in the CSS.

If you give panels an identifier "XXX_" and a number, then you can use a neat CSS trick where you apply the CSS to all DIVs whose ID starts with "XXX_"

<row>
   <panel id="apply_css_1">...</panel>
   <panel id="apply_css_2">...</panel>
</row>
<row>
   <panel id="apply_css_3">...</panel>
</row>

Then create your CSS panel and add the prefix: div[id^=apply_css] to each class

<row>
    <panel depends="$alwaysHideCSSPanel$">
      <html>
         <style>
           div[id^=apply_css] table thead tr th,td{
           font-size:150% !important;
           width:150px !important;
           border: 1px solid black !important;
           text-align: right !important
           }
           div[id^=apply_css] table thead tr th{
            font-weight: bold !important;
           }
        </style>
     </html>
   </panel>
</row>

That way your CSS is only applied to the panels you want.

Cheers,
Daniel

You can use id that can be referenced by the css.

Check this example dashboard (you can just copy/paste in to a new dashboard 😞

<dashboard version="1.1">
  <label>css test</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
      <style>
      #mycss table tr{
        font-size:150% !important;
        font-weight: bold;
        width:150px !important;
        border: 1px solid black !important;
        text-align: right !important;
        background-color: #FF00FF !important;
        
      }
      </style></html>
    </panel>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table id="mycss">
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal sourcetype IN (splunkd, splunk_python)| timechart span=1h count by sourcetype | table _time splunkd * | fillnull value=0 splunkd splunk_python mongod</query>
          <earliest>-4h@m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal sourcetype IN (splunkd, splunk_python)| timechart span=1h count by sourcetype | table _time splunkd * | fillnull value=0 splunkd splunk_python mongod</query>
          <earliest>-4h@m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

Note that I added the mycss id to the css and to one of the tables.

Hope I was able to help you. If so, some karma would be appreciated.
