I have a field which the user selects either yes or no from a dropdown. How can I have the field background colour of the cell for that particular field change to red if the user selects no from the dropdown. Also I love the new appearence for the site support area but where has the link to this forum gone.

Hi,
use custom JavaScript code for this purpose.

Here is a sample:

<script>

document.forms.editform.value_FieldName.onchange=function()

{

if(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value=="no")

document.forms.editform.value_FieldName.style.backgroundColor="red";

else

document.forms.editform.value_FieldName.style.backgroundColor="white";
}

</script>



To add JavaScript proceed to the Visual Editor tab, switch to HTML mode and add ode at the end of the page.

Hi,

see my changes in Bold:


Jane thank you for reply.

I tried but nothing changed. Probably I didn't do it correctly.

What do I have to change in this script. I changed FieldName to my field name(e.g itemapproved) which I want to change color...
So, basically I want to change cell color depending on field value(e.g Yes or No).

Could you tell me what I should do?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
it's just a sample code.

You need to replace field names with your actual ones. Also please make sure your field values are correct. Values are case-sensitive here.
If it doesn't help publish your project on Demo Account and open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending a URL to your pages.

Jane,

Again thanks for your help. Before uploading to demo account I wanted to make sure that I'm doing right thing.

In List Page, I have table containing tracking info ,which is filled by different users. User1(shipper) adds records and left side of table contains shipping info. User2(receiver) adds records when receives item. So, I want to change color of the particular row, which has not receiving info(item is not received yet).
So, does this script apply to my request?

If yes, could you please make bold fields names, which should be changed?
Many thanks

Hi,
this code is for add/edit pages.

To change row background color on the list page use List page: After record processed event on the Events tab:

if ($data["FieldName"]=="no")

$row["rowstyle"]='style="background:blue"';
