I have got a database that contains data fields, when the date becomes 5 days old the date field turns red. When I host the file over the web, the field turns red but the date does not show, Help?

Hi, Is this in Instant publishing? If you check the page source has it made both field and text the same colour?

I use two very simple ways of changing colours in custom cdml publishing;

This one's just an "if" which greys out lines in the search return until action is needed:

------------------

<FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="verdana,arial,geneva,sans-serif" [FMP-IF:status.cn.production]

COLOR="#999999"

[/FMP-IF]> <B>[FMP-FIELD: status]</B></FONT>

------------------

This one changes the colour of the search return line depending on status:

------------------

<TD WIDTH=50 BGCOLOR="#[fmp-field:colourfield]">

------------------

Where "colourfield" is a calculation:

Case(status="on server","66ccff", status="accepted","00cc66", status="resend","ff3300", status="new version","66ccff","ffffff")

I think there are a lot of people on the list using fields in the html to do this kind of thing....... anyone got some examples that I can steal!!
