creating a site using HTML and i'm just wondering if this is possible or if i'm just wasting my time:

what i have is a table with multiple cells. in each cell there is an input, either a dropdown or text field.

what i want to know is, can the input or selection of the user affect the bg color of the cell?

in case that doesnt make SENSE...
Example: a table with 2 cells. each cell has a dropdown menu with "yes" or "no". the user selects either one in each cell and clicks a submit button. after CLICKING submit, if the user selected yes in a cell, the bg color of the cell turns green, but if they chose no, the bg color turns red.

is that possible? thanks Quick thoughts - JS could well be the WAY to go tho have no code to suggest right now.

Other possible might be to set up a link properties set in css, specific to this table situation - and give your drop down contents a null href each .... and so make it possible to have a css set like - a.cells, a.cells:hover and a.cells:visited - PROBABLY leaving out the hover as not too necessary.

Mind you - this is when I think on it only going to change color of the selected LIST item, not the cell itself.

I'll give it more thought if time allows. Bit busy.Quote from: ChrisXPPro on July 30, 2008, 06:29:05 PM
