[displaytag-user] Changing Background of a Column

[Krishnan, M. <mah...@cs...>]

Hi all,
	I have a requirement where I need to change the background of a column based
on the value. for Example if the Column Value is "Error" I need to make the
background color as Red. How do I do this with display tag library.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mahesh

Subject: [displaytag-user] making an entire table cell a link?


Is it possible to have a table cell be linked, instead of just the text
within a cell? 

I have a column that's defined like this:
<display:column property="name" sortable="true" paramId="id"
paramProperty="id" title='Name'       
href='<%=request.getContextPath()+editURL.getPath()%>' />

The problem is there's a lot of data in the table, so fonts are small,
and some of these names are short, so it's not very convenient to have
to click on the name text. It would be nice to be able to click anywhere
in the cell. I came up with a possible solution using a decorator. I
changed the above property attribute to property="linkedName", and
defined the following method in the decorator:

public String getLinkedName() {
    ProjectForm pF = (ProjectForm) getCurrentRowObject();
    return "<fieldset>" + pF.getName() + "</fieldset>";
}

Now there's a fieldset tag around the text, which draws a box around the
text (almost the size of the cell), and the whole thing is linked.
Basically what I wanted, but it looks horrible. The fieldset box is too
big vertically, which blows the whole table out of proportion, and I
don't think HTML gives a way to shrink it.

Any ideas for other ways to achieve this effect? Preferably without
javascript? If not, can we make it a feature request? A low-priority
feature request since it's a rather minor issue.
