Question

Currently experiencing an irritating quirk of Drupal views where it will change the provided css class name.

For example, if I add the class container_12 it will be rendered as container-12.

Any idea how to turn this off?

Thanks.

Views doest it because of CSS codeing standards from Drupal. You can change the behavior with phptemplate_preprocess_views_view(&$vars). Here is an example.

function phptemplate_preprocess_views_view(&$vars) {
  $css_class = $view->display_handler->get_option('css_class');
  if (!empty($css_class)) {
    $vars['classes_array'][] = $vars['css_class'];
  }
}

Also, I just can advise you to change you css, if you use a framework you can easily find a base theme with you framework on drupal.org.
