Change Font Color on Value Prompt Display Values - cognos

Question

I'm using Report Studio Version 10.2.2 and I have a question regarding value prompts.
I've got a report with a prompt page that works great. I set up a value prompt as a multi-select, check box group with default selections. I'd like to give a visual queue to the end user by changing the font color for the "Default Selections" to red.
How do you change the font color for specific display values in a value prompt?

Answer 1

JavaScript
You can add an HTML item before the value prompt:
<span id="MyList">
...and an HTML item after the value prompt...
</span>
<style>
.MyRedClass {
color: #ff0000;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
<script>
var s = document.getElementById("MyList");
var divCollection = s.getElementsByClassName("clsCheckBoxRow");
var isPositive = function(n) {
return n > 0;
}
for (var d = 0; d < divCollection.length; d++) {
switch (true) {
case isPositive(divCollection[d].innerHTML.indexOf("CORPORATION FOR PROFIT")):
case isPositive(divCollection[d].innerHTML.indexOf("CORPORATION NON PROFIT")):
case isPositive(divCollection[d].innerHTML.indexOf("INDIVIDUAL")):
divCollection[d].classList.add("MyRedClass");
break;
default:
break;
}
}
</script>
Problems:
You will need to maintain the list of default values in two places.
(Or you could abandon the Default selections property and use
JavaScript to set the defaults.)
My code looks for a class named
clsCheckBoxRow. That may not work for users using a different theme
(?). I don't know because I didn't bother testing.
If any of the default values match text that is in the HTML (other than the value -- unlikely), you'll need to make the search more specific. (like digging deeper into the DOM)
