Conditional Formatting

[rcorrigal]

Why can’t I get this to work? Any hints? It's for an input tag in an html form. Thanks!

 

<?php $value=currentField.value; if ( $value < "3" ) echo "border: 1px red solid;"; ?>

it may be 3 not "3"

Wouldn't matter if it was 3 or "3"

 

Whats currentField.value ? that looks like javascript.

It looks like you're trying to mix Javascript and PHP. Please explain what you are trying to do.

Your right I was mixing javascript and php by mistake. However, how do I pass the field value to $value for the if statement? I am trying to make a field highlight if it's under a certain number.

[soak]

I don't think you need to unless you're populating it in javascript. Can you show us a bit more code please?

Hope this helps...

 

<input value="<?echo mysql_result(mysql_db_query($db_name, "SELECT p1G6 FROM Students WHERE teacherid='$data[login]' AND ID=0 "),0);?>" name="p1G6" id="p1G6" type="text" onblur="this.value=eedisplayFloat(eeparseFloat(this.value));recalc_onclick('p1G6')" onkeyup="testform(this)" maxlength="1" tabindex="4"

style=' width:100%; <?php if ( currentField.value < 3 ) { echo "border: 1px red solid;"; }; ?> '

class='ee142'>

<?php
$fieldValue = mysql_result(mysql_db_query($db_name, "SELECT p1G6 FROM Students WHERE teacherid='$data[login]' AND ID=0 "),0);

?>
<input value="<?= $fieldValue ?>" name="p1G6" id="p1G6" type="text" onblur="this.value=eedisplayFloat(eeparseFloat(this.value));recalc_onclick('p1G6')" onkeyup="testform(this)" maxlength="1" tabindex="4"
style=' width:100%; <?php if ( $fieldValue < 3 ) { echo "border: 1px red solid;"; }; ?> '

Sweet thanks! 

 

** That works great, however not very efficient for about 100 fields.

Select all of your fields in one go and loop through them. See mysql_fetch_assoc
