Re: WebFacing subfile selected record/field color chg

Hi Lupe,

So what you are telling me is that it is working exactly as I had intended
;-) I misunderstood what you meant by "selected", you are talking about
the end user clicking on the field at runtime whilst I had been thinking
that you meant the field that you selected in Code/Designer.

If that is the case you could simply use the HTML overrides and set a
value for the HTML Inside Web Setting. Something like the following.
This adds JavaScript function calls when the field gets focus and looses
focus. If you want it to be one-way (i.e., gets set when the field gets
focus then remove the onBlur() call.

onFocus="myFunction(this,'myRed');" onBlur="myFunction(this,'myNormal');"

Then define the myFunction() function in a file. For simplicity you can
create myFunctions.js in the WebContent/webfacing/ClientScript/usr
directory of your project and in that file put something simple like this.
Your WF app will need to be stopped then restarted in WAS to pick up this
change. If you want to get real fancy you can use a myFunctions.jsp and
dynamically generate content in it.

function myFunction(myobj,mystyle)
{
myobj.classname = mystyle;
}

Then finally add a couple of style classes to the
WebContent/webfacing/styles/apparea/apparea.css file. These will need to
match the style names that you use in the HTML Inside

.myRed{background-color:red;}

.myNormal{background-color:white;} // or whatever you want

Keep in mind that I have not tested all this so it may have undetected
typo's but I think it should all work.

Let us know how it goes

Mike,

1. tried the 'Select the field and then enable the "Appearance"
Web Setting' as suggested and all fields that are selectable' were
chged
in color

2. tried the "Override style class" checkbox
and use style classes such as wf_default wf_field wf_ri_red
suggestion
and the test result was as in #1 (above).

3. I tried the HTML Overrides and insert HTML Inside like
style="background:red" and again had a test result as in #1.



It that the color chg has to be applicable to the selected' field and I
think that entails the use of some java script w/in the Web Settings
option, perhaps an <onClick = "this.JNPINQS.ONAMEP.setAttribute
(bgcolor, red") >

--- JNPINQS is my display file, ONAMEP is the field I select w/in the
subfile record.

My java script experience is very light on my best day.

Hi Lupe,

What version of WebFacing are you using? If you are using a more
current
version then it is better to use the editor in the IDE rather than
Code/DSU then you will have access to the Web Settings that are
available
in your version of WebFacing.

I am not entirely sure what you intend with "<BG=red />", it is not
JavaScript as I understand it ;-)

I can think of two ways to possibly achieve the goal that you want. One

thing that you might try is using the Web Settings tab when you open the

source in your project. Select the field and then enable the
"Appearance"
Web Setting. There you could check the "Override style class" checkbox

and use style classes such as wf_default wf_field wf_ri_red.
Alternatively you could use HTML Overrides and insert HTML Inside like
style="background:red" or define a custom style class and use something
like class="myclass" instead.

Let us know how it works out.

Mike

Question: Within the WebFacing tool I have a subfile type of file

opened

with CODE DESIGNER; how do I chg the color of a selected subfile

record

field? After selecting the subfile record the user has an Fn key to
clickon to have a succeeding screen display info related to the
selected' subfile record/field. I have tried the java script command
<BG=red /> within the Web Settings option and this command did not

work.
