Is it possible to change CSS based on form selection

[Mandie]

Hi guys,

Kind of a dumb question but, is it possible in a form that has say three radio buttons in an element with each one having a color value to change the css background color of the cell depending on which radio button is selected?

Cheers,
Mandie

It is possible to do using Javascript (code to enter in "javascript" tab of the element).

this js code should work:

this.getParent('div.fabrikElement').setStyle('background-color', this.get('value'));

that presumes the sub option values are things like 'red' or '#4433FF'

Form Background to match background of Joomla Article

How do I change the form to match Joomla's template background?

I assume you want a fix setting (not depending on an element value what this thread was about)?

Create a file custom_css.php in your form template with something like
#{$view}_$c {background:green}

Use firefox with firebug to check CSS classes you want to modify.
