Re: Changing background on individual rows in table (HTML) -- WEB400

Hello,

Use CSS and designate each row as being of a particular class.

For example, let's say you have rows that show profits, and you want rows with positive numbers to be black on white, rows with negative results to be white on red, and rows that were even to be black on grey.

/$top
Content-type: text/html

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
tr.gain {
color: black;
background-color: white;
}
tr.loss {
color: white;
background-color: red;
}
tr.even {
color: black;
background-color: #C0C0C0;
}
</style>

...etc... more html here...

/$myrow
<tr class="/%class%/">
<td>/%field1%/</tr>
<td>/%field2%/</tr>
<td>/%field3%/</tr>
</tr>

Now in your RPG code, you do something like this:

select;
when profit > 0;
updHtmlVar('class': 'gain');
when profit < 0;
updHtmlVar('class': 'loss');
other;
updHtmlVar('class': 'even');
endsl;

Does that make sense?

I am using CGIDEV2 and creating a table of history records. I would like to change the background color on individual rows based upon some criteria. If I were using RPG I would set an indicator for color but don't really know how to approach it using html.
Could someone please share an example of this type of coding? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
