onmouseover question (.NET)

[[MG]IceTT]

I need to add an onmouseover action to the datagrid row so the border will change color anytime a cell in that row is hovered over. I can get the BACKGROUND color to change, but that is not what I am looking for.

I have tried the syntax below in the ItemDataBound event of the datagrid, I even tried it in the ItemCreated event:

e.Item.Attributes.Add("onMouseOver", "this.borderColor='#color';this.style.cursor='hand'")

but it doesnt do anything....grrrrrr

I can get this to work for the individual cell but not the entire row.

can anyone help?

thanks <3

for what it sounds like is you need to get creative with some if statements.

if mouseover on cell a or cell b or cell c ect... then

change border color on cell a and b and c

that would require ALOT of if statements

i am trying to keep this as dynamic as possible.

do you need the "" on "this.borderColor='#color';this.style.cursor='hand'
??

/me only knows the basics of vb

isnt it this.style.borderColor? note this is CSS and has nothing to do with .net

 

[[MG]IceTT]

yes, there are two arguments in the e.item.Attributes.Add(key,value)

or use php and save yourself the headache

isnt it this.style.borderColor? note this is CSS and has nothing to do with .net

the .style would call a text style that resides on the client side of the webpage or CSS file.

but that doesnt work either...that has been tried. :|

Turn on option strict to see what it says!

this probably refers to the cell and not the row. I am sure you can get the parent row from the cell somehow (like this.parentRow.borderColor -- I made up .parentRow, but you get the idea.)

 

[[MG]IceTT]

the "e.item" refers to the row

the attributes for the individual cells look like this:

e.Item.Cells(I).ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGreen
