Conditional Format on result from DB lookup.

I am looking to highlight a row(s) of results from a DB lookup based on a returned field. If the field value for any record is 4, then highlight in yellow. If the field value for any record is 5+, then highlight in red. Basically I want to do conditional formatting on each row based on a particular field's value.

I've found quite a bit of working code here, but it requires the user to do something to make it happen. I would like the highlighting to occur when the results are returned to the user.

I'm using FP2000 and already checked the FP Forum, but since this may require a more interesting look from the ASP side, I figured I'd come to the experts!

Thanks,

simple really

result=rs("resultfield")

if result=4 then
var_backcolor="yellow"
elseif result>=5 then
Var_backcolor = "red"
end if

response.write &quot;<tr bgcolor=&quot; * var_backcolor & &quot;&quot;><td>&quot; & rs(&quot;resultfield&quot;)

and so on for the rest of the rows dataset

This looks to be exactly what I'm looking for, however, when you use FrontPage to connect to a DB, the back-end code is a bit confusing. On top of that, it doesn't use response.write to return results.

The interesting piece would be to modify your code to 'work' with the FP junk... I want to test the DaystoClose field and then highlight the row if it meets the above criteria.

Here's a simplified look at the code that FP generates:


Code: 
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=windows-1252&quot;>
<meta name=&quot;GENERATOR&quot; content=&quot;Microsoft FrontPage 4.0&quot;>
<meta name=&quot;ProgId&quot; content=&quot;FrontPage.Editor.Document&quot;>
<title>YearClosed</title>
<meta name=&quot;Microsoft Theme&quot; content=&quot;sandston 1011, default&quot;>
</head>

honestly, the best thing is to dump FrontPage and get a real editor, Visual Studio or Visual Interdev if you want to stick to MS products. Or there are a host of others.

the above 'code' is why i get jobs fixing other people's code...because they can't make heads or tails out of it...the last time I did this I took six pages of code and reduced it down to 15 lines...

if you can handle the dns connections statements I will rewrite this to somethig that actually makes sense for ya...not this garbage, and by the way, MM Ultradev does the same thing, way to much code for what are essentially simple things to to do

I assume that i can use the columns headers to represent the data fields and you can adpat that to fit what your needs are?

Let me know

All help is greatly appreciated - send it on! You can use the column headers and I'll modify as needed. Thanks again!
