Further customization

By using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), you can customize very specifically the display of QuickPolls on your site.

All QuickPolls related CSS selectors start with QP for obvious reasons. Except for the bar graph bars covered in Minimal customization, all selectors are based on CSS classes. The main HTML table which displays polls has CSS class QP-current-poll. The specific portions of that table are accessed using the CSS selectors shown in the following table:

.QP-question Table and cells containing question in both the poll and the results
.QP-answers Table and cells containing the list of answers in both the poll and the results
.QP-submit-area Table & cell containing the submit button and text for viewing results
.QP-bar-table Table containing only a bar for the bar graph (nested in answer list)
.QP-bar-cell Cell containing only a bar for the bar graph

Any CSS properties that can be applied to tables and/or cells can be applied using these names, giving you considerable flexibility in styling your poll and results. For instance, you can define the height of the .QP-bar-cell style to produce slimmer bar graphs in the results -- take a look at our example poll and its example stylesheet to see how.
