Can/how non Windows domain machines access a share on the domain

Question

I simply want to insert a DIV containing some text before a table element.

I tried this but the text gets inserted between thead and the first data row and the table's first column gets disturbed because of the inserted text.

What would be the proper solution to this? I can't add class names to the table element as I have to apply this style to existing legacy content.

Here is the jsFiddle.

CSS:

table:before {
    content:"this text should use the whole width of the table!";
}

Solution

1. In the share permissions and NTFS permissions, you want to give access to an Active Directory security group or groups. I normally give Everyone full access in the share permissions and manage my access via NTFS permissions.

2. You add users to that group that you want to give access to. Even if their machines are not yet joined to the domain.

3. The users in the workgroup can map that share with their AD credentials, even if their workstation isn't joined to the domain yet by going though the Map Drive wizard in Explorer or by using the command-line net use command with the /user switch.

You wont be able to insert a div this with CSS pseudo elements. You could use javascript to insert the div though.

Why do you want it in a pseudo class??

I can only modify the CSS, I can not change the content (HTML) itself. In addition, that extra text should only appear on small devices, so I am looking for a CSS trick to be used within a media query. The result should be: on small devices I will see the table and a little text note before the table.

I had originally tried with the "everyone" group and it did not work. I just created another group "employees", added all the user accounts, gave access to the share to the group. And I still cannot access the share. BTW: using Server 2011 SBS, and mix of XP SP3 and Vista Workstations.

You need to make sure that the NTFS permissions on the server allow access as well. It's more than just the share permissions.

Um, share and NTFS permissions certainly do matter, unless you have the Everyone ACE in your share/NTFS permissions and that's bad news. Typically Everyone is in the Share permissions and then actual access is granted through underlying NTFS permissions on the server. When you are connecting with Bob or Mike's credentials, you still need Bob and Mike to have access granted through both share and NTFS permissions. Also, if you want windows to prompt your for a password immediately, put an asterisk after /user:foo\bar.

Mark M - thanks for commenting on that - that was an unfinished thought when I said the NTFS permissions don't matter. Will edit. Other than that unfinished thought, can anyone honestly say my information is otherwise incorrect - and if explain why you feel it is?

Thanks!! I missed the display:block property on the table. You're the man.

You completely missed the "non Windows" part of the question.
