I have a DataGrid with an EditCommandColu mn column set to a type of PushButton. I want to set set CssClass on these buttons and cannot without using code-behind code on the ItemDataBound event. The project lead does not want me to do this with code as he thinks it is too complex. But I cannot find a property in Design View or HTML View that works. Otherwise the edit buttons do not match the appearance of other buttons on the screen.
Here is the HTML definiton of the web form:
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<TABLE id="tblDetail" style="HEIGHT: 34px" cellSpacing="1" cellPadding="1" width="99%"
border="0">
<TR>
<TD width="120"><IN PUT class="Buttons" id="clientBtnCl ose" onclick="CloseW indow();" type="button" value="Close Window"></TD>
<td><asp:labe l id="lblErrorMsg " runat="server" ForeColor="Red" Font-Bold="True" BackColor="Tran sparent"></asp:label></td>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<BR>
<asp:datagrid id="grdCycleSta tusList" runat="server" Width="99%" ShowFooter="Tru e" AutoGenerateCol umns="False"
DataKeyField="C ycleStatusID" CssClass="DataG rid" BorderColor="#4 A3C8C">
<AlternatingIte mStyle CssClass="DataG ridAlternatingI tem"></AlternatingItem Style>
<ItemStyle CssClass="DataG ridItem"></ItemStyle>
<HeaderStyle CssClass="DataG ridHeader"></HeaderStyle>
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateCo lumn HeaderText="Cyc le Description">

<asp:RequiredFi eldValidator id="rfvDescript ion_Add" runat="server" Text="Required" ControlToValida te="txtCycleDes cription_ADD"
