Hi Lupe,

I'm not sure off-hand why it would not work. You won't need the
appearance setting since you want the change to be dynamic rather than
static so I'd make sure that Web Setting is not checked. Or at least you
don't need it set for what you want to do.

Just in case it is the style class or JavaScript function definition that
isn't quite right (case sensitive) you could try setting the background
colour directly with something like this:

this.style.backgroundColor='red';

And you can check and make sure that I was steering you in the right
direction. I found this article in MS's knowledge base, what I was trying
to do is similar to their second example
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278386

When I get some free time I will have a go at trying to reproduce this and
see why it does not work for you but with my current workload that
probably won't be until next week some time. However don't hesitate to
put an update here if you figure something out !

Mike

Mike,

I followed the instructions and did not get a color chg.



1. for the WF 'Appearance and Text' I have these values;
wf_default wf_field


2. added file myFunctions.js into the
WebContent/webfacing/ClientScript/usr
folder and it includes only these lines of code;
function myFunction(myobj,mystyle)
{
myobj.classname = mystyle;
}
I noticed that file webface7002.ja is in folder
WebContent/webfacing/ClientScript/



3. value for the HTML Inside Web Setting is;
<onFocus="myFunction(this,'myRed');">

also tried this code
onFocus="myFunction(this,'myRed');"



4. I added these two lines of code to the end of
WebContent/webfacing/styles/apparea/apparea.css file;
.myRed{background-color:red;}
.myNormal{background-color:white;}





Is any of this incorrect?

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
