Using Syle to highlight a field

amacqueen · ‎06-15-2015

The picture below shows what I've done to get a field highlighted based on the fields value

I have a feeling that I may have got the syntax wrong as this field is a string and not an integer/choice field.

I would welcome any feedback.

TIA

Angus,

Use the below code:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

var cTypeLabel = $('label.incident.contact_type');

var cTypeField = $('incident.contact_type');

if (newValue == 'Self Service') {

cTypeLabel.setStyle({backgroundColor: "red"});

cTypeField.setStyle({color: "red"});

}

else {

cTypeLabel.setStyle({backgroundColor: ""});

cTypeField.setStyle({color: ""});

}

Just a small correction - Styles will be applied to certain field types in form view if they are read-only:

what color are you using right now?

I'm using Blue now Doug

ok i think we are making this way more complex than it has to be... you want to adjust the background of the same field you are triggering off of so no javascript is required...

for value try putting in "Site Surgery"

for style put in background-color:SkyBlue

and see if it works.

Agree with Berny.
