Conditional Formatting or number field

[Saher Naji]

Hello there,

I'm trying to change the format of text depending on a text field value

I don't know where is the wrong in my code!

it's not working

what I want is:

make the text red bold and italic if Actual_lodgning_1 >  lodging_per_diem_1

Thanks in advance

This is the code:

if(event.value>Number(this.getField("lodging_per_diem_1").value))
{event.target.textColor = color.red;}

else if(event.value < Number(this.getField("lodging_per_diem_1").value))
{
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.target.fillColor = color.transparent;}

Actual_lodgning_1

The code seems fine. Where did you place it, exactly (under what event)?

And are there any errors in the JS Console when it runs?

[Bernd Alheit]

To make the text italic you must change the font.

[Saher Naji]

it's under custome validation script

there is no erros, it's not working!

[Nesa Nurani · Accepted solution]

It will only work when the value of "Actual_lodgning_1" is changed and not when "lodging_per_diem_1" is changed.

Yes, this is what I want to change, but also it's not working

Sorry , it's working now, I did a mistake, maybe I did not try to change Actual_lodgning_1

how could I change the font to italic? 

font.HelvB

[Saher Naji]

if(event.value>Number(this.getField("lodging_per_diem_1").value))
{event.target.textColor = color.red,
event.target.textFont = font.HelvBI;
}

else if(event.value < Number(this.getField("lodging_per_diem_1").value))
{
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.target.fillColor = color.transparent;}

<div>it's working 100%, I did not change the text, but I have to change it, Is there anyway to make it run automatically? when any value changes the color changes</div>

it's working 100%, I did not change the text, but I have to change it!

Is there anyway to make it run automatically? So when any value changes the color changes

Use the script as calculation script.

[Saher Naji]

it's working very will with as calculation script.

thank you very much

[Nesa Nurani]

As Bernd said, use script as calculation and just a tip if you first enter value in "Actual_lodgning_1" it will still make text red although "lodging_per_diem_1" is empty because blank value is same as 0, so you might want to check in your script that "lodging_per_diem_1" is not empty or 0 before changing text to red and italic.

You should also change the conditions to cover the cases where the two values are the same. If you don't, you might end up with some fields in red and others in black, while they are both the same, which is not consistent.
