Change Text Colour depending on what is written

#1

Hi There,

I am so not good at javascripts

and I'm not even sure if this can be done.

I use PHP and MySql the data that is returned to the browser is taken
directly from the MySQL database, I was looking for some simple solution
where I can have a javascript read what is displayed and change the colour
of that field.

ie. if it says Pending = Red, Approved = Red, Waiting = Blue etc.

Can this be done?

yes, but it's probably easier to do it using PHP to give the html fragment the
style tag for the apropriate coloour.

In _theory_ something as simple as a stylesheet would work:

<style type="text/css">
input[value="wating"] {
color:green;
background-color:#CCFFCC;
}
input[value="pending"] {
color:red;
background-color:#FFCCCC;
}
</style>

<body>
<input name="" type="text" value="wating" />
<input name="" type="text" value="pending" />
</body>

But sadly IE doesn't support the [attribute="value"] selector standard. In
Opera and Firefox it worked just okay. If you don't need IE-compilant
solution then you can use this.
