Coloring the background color of a field according it's value - in

How can I color the background color of a cell according its value (text field): for example if the value in the field is "Yes" - the background color of the cell will be green and if the value in the field is "No" - the background color of the cell will be red, If empty - no special background color?
You instructed me how to do something similar thing direct in the code in previous versions of asprunner but I want to know how to do that in ASPRunner 4.1
Thanks a lot

Thanks.

Unfortunately, seems like the custom code doesn't affect my application.
My custom code for the field that suppose to get the appropriate color is:

if InStr(Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME"), "_export")<1 then

str = "<table width=100% bgcolor="

if (strValue)="Yes" then

str = str & "green"

elseif (strValue)="No" then

str = str & "red"

elseif (strValue)="NR" then

str = str & "black"

else

str = str & ""

end if

str = str & "><tr><td align='center'>" & strValue & "</td></tr></table>"

strValue = str

end if


Nothing was changed after I added the custom code, just as with the file type image - the application works but without the feature that the custom code suppose to supply.
I see the custom code in the commonfunctions.asp file.

When I look at the "view source" of the page I see the cell as before:

<td>

Yes

</td>


Can you please advise?
Thanks a lot

Make sure this field is not a Lookup wizard.

Custom code cannot be applied to lookup wizard field.

In the Add\Edit page, those fields are radio button. Is that problematic?

Yes, in current version you cannot apply Custom Code to this field.
orit author 1/17/2007

Is there a way to implement it not via GUI, but directly in code? If yes, How?
Thanks

No.
You need to wait till we add an option to apply custom code to lookup wizard/radio button fields.
