I have a focus procedure generating HTML. I need the background of the data cells of the summary row as blue. The hyperlinks in that row are no more visible (cause they are also blue). Is there any way I can selectively turn the links as white in that row (using webfocus stylesheet) ?

Govind, my original post apparently made a mess of the board, since it had html tags in it... so sorry.
My thinking is that it won't work.
In a focus style sheet, you can apply a CLASS, but not to the drilldown, just to the TD.
We need a way to apply a CLASS to the FOCEXEC= part of the drilldown.
so a work-around is to define your own drilldown...
MYDRILL/A100='<A HREF= ... >' | MYVAR | '</A>';

and apply your own styling directly to the A tag.

If there is a way to apply a CLASS to the Anchor Tag of a drilldown.. perhaps someone will come along and tell us.

otherwise, in the style section of your htmlform
you can choose a single set of colors and features for all anchor tags that will work for all bg colors;
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HEAD>
<style>
A {color:#999999; text-decoration:underline}
a:hover, a:active{ color:#6699cc; text-decoration:underline}
</style>
...etc

I dont suppose there is a way to bundle the whole FOCEXEC URL with all its parameters into the TD cell .....

COMPUTE MYDRILL/A100 = 'FOCEXEC' .....

Perhaps some javascript ? In absence of these, I guess I will settle down for a single set of colors for all links. Thanks.

yes, that's what i was saying above;
If you want to run a subfex passing the value MYVAR and having the drilldown on some fancier version of MYVAR, like MYVARNAME,
then something like this:
Just make sure the A200 is big enough because you'll be putting a class= attribute in there.
MYDRILL/A200='<a href="http://grwf01/cgi-bin/ibi_cgi/webapi.dll?'|
'IBIF_ex=fexname&|PARM1=' | MYVAR |'&|PARM2=WHATEVER&|PARM3=WHATEVER">' | MYVARNAME | '</A>';

and you could write
MYDRILL/A200= IF MYVAR IS 'FRED' THEN '<A ... this one is blue' ELSE
'<A and this anchor tag is green'...

Get the idea? This drill example is calling isapi (webapi.dll) not servlet, but if you like servlet, go ahead and call it instead.

Susannah, I got your idea. My url looks like following. I have about dozen reports with 2 links per report. I wonder if it is worth.

http://maxfh1.verizon.com/ibi_apps/WFServlet?
IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=EDASERVE&
IBIAPP_app=potsapp&&IBIMR_drill=X,fttpdoma/fttpdoma.htm&

pFromDate=2005/10/01&pToDate=2005/12/27&
pRequestHost=%25&pTestHost=%25&
pBusinessName=%25&pServiceType=%25&
pTestType=%25&pWorkType=%25&pEvent=%25&
pDC=%25&pDim1=G_DELHOST&pDim2=G_DC&
pDim1Val=delphie1&pDim2Val=IN


I will try your 'HTMLFORM' idea though. Thx

ouch.
you're in mre
that makes it more work.
so i guess your format has got to be A1000 Smiler
just make sure you put an escape character, a pipe | after each & in your href.
good luck!

Govind, better idea...lets make this really simple. We can easily change the text color in a dd column using conditional styling. The only thing you'll lose is the CHANGE in color when your user hovers over it. But you can still make it underline on hover...
Compute some FLAG/I1 for whatever condition your need
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=CAR,COLOR=RED,WHEN=FLAG EQ 0,
focexec=somefex(parms..),$
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=CAR,COLOR=TEAL,WHEN=FLAG EQ 1,
focexec=somefex(parms..),$
..then in your HTMLFORM
HEAD>
<style>
A {color:#999999; text-decoration:NONE}
a:hover, a:active{ color:#6699cc; text-decoration:underline}
</style>

...the color will be overridden by the direct color reference in your focus style section, but the underline (or text-decoration feature) will still work. the color reference will only affect other dd's on your page, if you have any.
So simple.. see if this works for you.

Susannah, I tried it. I see that it allows me to change color of links on mouseover (also making the underline appear on mouseover).

Isn't there a way to create white-links-on-blue-background and blue-links-on-white-background ? I tried to do it using 'WHEN' but no luck. I guess I will use a different coloring scheme.

Thx,

Govind,

You can use custom CSS CLASSes to dynamically style report items as well. I will try to come up with an example that includes hyperlinks.

Here's an example:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=GREEN,$
TYPE=DATA, CLASS='ONE', WHEN=COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND',$
TYPE=DATA, CLASS='TWO', WHEN=COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY',$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
< HTML >
< STYLE >
.ONE {background-color:#000080;color:#ffffff}
.TWO {background-color:#ffffff;color:#000080}
< / STYLE >
!IBI.FIL.HOLD;
< / HTML >
-HTMLFORM END


Thanks!

Mickey

Govind,

Adjust the STYLE code to use the following:

< STYLE >
A {color:#999999; text-decoration:NONE}
TD.ONE a:hover, a:active{ color:#6699cc; text-decoration:underline}
TD.TWO A:hover {background-color:#ffffff;color:#800000}
< / STYLE >

The tricky part here is that when you use CLASS= in the FOCUS Stylesheet, it assigns the CLASS attribute to the TD, not the A. there fore you need to adjust the CSS to indicate that you want specific styling for all A that are contained within TDs that have a CLASS of ONE, for example. Hence the need to prefix the a:hover, a:active with the TD.ONE in the CSS.

I hope this makes sense. LEt me know if you have questions.


Thanks!

Mickey

I thought I would post the complete example just to make it easy.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=GREEN,$
TYPE=DATA, CLASS='ONE', FOCEXEC=CARFEX1, WHEN=COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND',$
TYPE=DATA, CLASS='TWO', FOCEXEC=CARFEX2, WHEN=COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY',$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
< HTML >
< STYLE >
A {color:#999999; text-decoration:NONE}
TD.ONE a:hover, a:active{ color:#6699cc; text-decoration:underline}
TD.TWO A:hover {background-color:#ffffff;color:#800000}
< / STYLE >
!IBI.FIL.HOLD;
< / HTML >
-HTMLFORM END

Susannah, the code works. Perhaps you forgot to remove the blanks in the html tags.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=GREEN,$
TYPE=DATA, CLASS='ONE', FOCEXEC=CARFEX1, WHEN=COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND',$
TYPE=DATA, CLASS='TWO', FOCEXEC=CARFEX2, WHEN=COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY',$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<STYLE>
A {color:#999999; text-decoration:NONE}
TD.ONE a:hover, a:active{ color:#6699cc; text-decoration:underline}
TD.TWO A:hover {background-color:#ffffff;color:#800000}
</STYLE>
!IBI.FIL.HOLD;
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END

Francis,

How do you get the HTML tags to show up without adding blanks like I did in my posts?

Thanks!

I see that 'ENGLAND' links are now in gray color. Is there a way now to make the background of those lines to blue ? I tried it with webfocus's BACKCOLOR and also with CSS's background-color on 'A','TD.ONE'.

Thx

You can do this a couple of ways.

1) Add the following new line to the WEBFOCUS Stylesheet.

TYPE=DATA, BACKCOLOR=NAVY, WHEN=COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND',$

2) or Add the following new line to the CSS.

TD.ONE {background-color:#000080}


I would choose #2 because it seems to behave better.


Thanks!

Govind,

Try this new example. I think it might have all you need.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR RCOST DCOST
BY COUNTRY SUBTOTAL AS '
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=GREEN,$
TYPE=DATA, CLASS='TWO', COLUMN=RCOST, FOCEXEC=CARFEX2,$
TYPE=DATA, CLASS='TWO', COLUMN=DCOST, FOCEXEC=CARFEX2,$
TYPE=SUBTOTAL, BACKCOLOR=NAVY, COLOR=WHITE,$
TYPE=SUBTOTAL, COLUMN=RCOST, CLASS='ONE', FOCEXEC=CARFEX1,$
TYPE=SUBTOTAL, COLUMN=DCOST, CLASS='ONE', FOCEXEC=CARFEX1,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<STYLE>
A:visited {color:#999999}
TD.ONE {background-color:#000080}
TD.ONE a:link {color:#ffffff; text-decoration:NONE}
TD.ONE a:hover {color:#ffff00; text-decoration:underline}
TD.ONE a:active{color:#6699cc; text-decoration:underline}
TD.TWO a:link {color:#000080; text-decoration:NONE}
TD.TWO a:hover {color:#800000; text-decoration:underline}
TD.TWO a:active{color:#6699cc; text-decoration:underline}
</STYLE>
!IBI.FIL.HOLD;
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END


In reference to my previous post:

The reason why you need to control the background color in the CSS instead of in the WebFOCUS Stylesheet is because when WebFOCUS creates the HTML TABLE it can only put one CLASS=value in the TD code for any given cell. Doing a global 'TYPE=DATA, BACKCOLOR=NAVY' is overwritten for the cells for which we specifically apply a CLASS setting.


Thanks!

Govind,

Make sure you clear the history of your browser to see the full effects of the new example I posted. It will show all links that have been visited as gray. If you clear the history you should see all the proper colors before clicking on a link.


Thanks!
