Conditionally changing a Forms Class

BLOMASKY

I have a form where I need to assign a class depending on the value of a SessionVars.attrib. If the attrib = yes, then I need to assign a class, if not, then I want to clear the class on the form.

Can someone help please.
Thanks

It depends where you have the class, in most places today you can use tags and is what I usually do and I usually have an BO attribute that holds the actual class i.e I:

Create the needed class and add it to my custom CSS file.
Create a attribute that holds the classname (or nothing at all) and a rule e.g if Bo.Flag='Yes' then Bo.ClassName='myclass'
Add tag for class on form or other HTML element: <<LoggedInRegularUser.Bo.ClassName>> and you can use SystemSettings, RegularUser or SessionObject here.

I tried what you said, but when I add the SessionVars to the class field of the form: <<SessionVars.callBackClass>> I get a connection failure: parseerror. I did try it without the <<>> and, of course, then it just uses that literial in the class: I.E.
<div class="aw-form-body SessionVars.callBackClass">

Yes that is the where part i.e where you added the tags. In most places on forms etc. and in queries a normal <<Tag>> should work but in some places you have to use HTML entities e.g <<Tag>> instead and also tags doesn´t work everywhere (but again should work in most places). Share a screenshot of where you have added it and I can maybe help more.

I see you write class field on form so I guess it is in the config tool settings where I am unsure if tags work (I use custom classes all over and on my forms hence the a bit more general suggestion). Worse case scenario, add a class in the config tool settings and then use that as a selector ("target") for a JS script that add or remove another class. A bit messy though so you can possibly find other workarounds. Everything depends on what you are trying to achieve as the end result (as it can be solved in many different ways).

Screen shots of my last attempt using <

(wrong pictures. I did prefice the callbackclass with SessionVars.)

It would have been nice (and easy) if this worked. Perhaps you can help with using JS to conditionally change the class. I have a field in SessionVars that if > 1 then I need a different background color.
