Hi
I am trying to format one item in a form field, to highlight it. I have
tried googling and read through all the texts I have, but could find
anything. Here is what I am trying to do.
I am using PHP4 to populate a form with a drop-down menu. The menu data is
read from MySQL. I want to highlight the Team: XXXX, field to make it
stand out from the rest of the data in the line. Something like:
Team ID: 29, Team: AAA, Grade: Test ("Team: AAA" is in yellow and bold!)
The code I am using is:
print'<form action="editteams.php" method="post">
<p>Select team for updating: <select name="team_name"></p>';
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT teams_id, team_name, grade FROM
$compteams ORDER BY team_name ";
if (@mysql_query($query)) {
$r= mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($r)) {
$rrowid=$row[0];
$rrow=$row[1];
$rrrow=$row[2];
print "<option
value=$rrowid,$rrow,$rrrow,>";
print"Team ID: $rrowid, <span
class=\"alertyellow\"><b>Team: $rrow</b></span> , Grade :$rrrow</option>";
}
print'</select>
<input type="submit" name="choose_team" value="Update this
team!" />
</form></div>';
}
A snippet from the HTML is:
id="gradeform"><form action="editteams.php" method="post">
<p>Select team for updating: <select
name="team_name"></p><option value=29,AAA,Test,>
Team ID: 29, <span class="alertyellow"><b>Team: AAA</b></span>, Grade
:Test</option> .
I have a style sheet which has the following rule:
.alertyellow {
font-size:120%;
color:#ef9c00;
}
The HTML suggests that the lettering should come out yellow, but it doesn't.
I use the alertyellow class elsewhere and it works fine. Is it possible to
hightlight one item in a form field?
Thanks and regards,
Santilal
