DropList and xHtml

[Robert Iliuta]

Hallo,


Is there any way that we could inject xHtml code in a Drop List?
For the moment I see that DropList doesn't support xHtm :-(

Thank you,
Robert

what sort of xHtml are you thinking of Robert?

The drop list is using a <select> element in html. Perhaps post some example of a select here (ie the raw html) so I can see what you have in mind?

cheers

I would like based on a condition to have entries red or green.
Very easy to do in a browse but not in a drop list. DropList doesn't like xHtml on value. I have a drop list and I would like to make entries red for inactive and green for active. Users like this )
I try to inject xHtml on values but doesn't work...

Thank you,
Robert

those look like css sttings, not html. what html were you planning to inject to get this effect? Or are you really asking about CSS?

cheers

you can set the CSS for a line in the drop-list, on the CSS tab for that field. The entry to look for is
Drop Part:

Of course you can put an expression in here - as always - so I put in
choose(random(1,10)>5,'red','green')
and got a colorful drop-down like your screen-shot.

I'm guessing you have a slightly more clever expression, but the technique seems right.

Hallo Bruce,

It's working great!
The only thing it's that I lose green bar effect...

Thank you,
Robert

[Bruce]

I haven't tested, but you might get to keep the greenbar effect if you "append" the class, rather than "replace" it. ie set the class name with a leading space. as in;

choose(random(1,10)>5,' red',' green')
