How to Change Font Color of a textbox in Jscript

[tvanhammond]

I have been attempting to change the font color of a text box on an
InfoPath form but I need to do this in jscript. Is this possible?

Yes this is possible I had to do the same thing for a client who wanted to
track what fields had been chaged.
This is a little limited though,
Add an attribute to the field that you want to change the colour of
then for the text box of the field set a conditional formatting rule that
will check the new attribute you added and based on the value in the
attribute change the font colour.

As I said this a limited approach, but may be a good starting point for you

Thanks Ben. Just to be clear..when you say to 'Add an attribute', what
do you mean? I've added a separate textbox which I can alter the
contents of but I'm not sure what type of Attribute you intended.

Thanks again

Hey Tim,
When adding fields to the xml structure of the form you have an option to
select one of the following

- Field
- Group
- Group (Choice)
- Field (Attribute)
- Complete XML Schema or Document

the reason I suggested adding an attibute is that you could create an xml
structure as follows

<root>
<UserName ColourAtrtibute=""></UserName>
</root>

this way if you need to reuse the same attribute name for a number of fields
you can rather than requireing unique names for something that is essentially
a property of a field.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Ben
