Solved: Re: How to highlight a radio button on a dashboard...

dbcase · ‎09-01-2016

Hi,

I have this at the top of the dashboard:

The code that shows this is:

Beta Reports

<input type="time" token="field1" searchWhenChanged="true">
  <label>Select a Time Period</label>
  <default>
    <earliest>-6h</earliest>
    <latest>now</latest>
  </default>
</input>
<input type="radio" token="dummy" searchWhenChanged="true">

  <label>Show Help:</label>
  <default>No</default>
  <choice value="No">No</choice>
  <choice value="Yes">Yes</choice>
  <change>
    <condition value="No">
      <unset token="showhelp"></unset>
    </condition>
    <condition value="Yes">
      <set token="showhelp">awwwyeah</set>
    </condition>
  </change>
</input>

What I'd like to do is either (could be AND as well) somehow highlight the show help radio button and/or move the radio button to right justified.

The reason is the users either don't see the radio button or they think it is help for the select time period drop-down.

You can add css to a simple xml by using the tags in the panels. Here is a simple example of how to apply css. You will have to play with css to get exactly what you want.

    <panel>
      <html>
        <style>
          div#myRadio label:first-child { 
                    position: relative !important;
                    background-color: #b0e0e6;
                   }
        </style>
      </html>

  <input type="time" token="field1" searchWhenChanged="true">
   <label>Select a Time Period</label>
   <default>
     <earliest>-6h</earliest>
     <latest>now</latest>
   </default>
 </input>
 <input id="myRadio" type="radio" token="dummy" searchWhenChanged="true">

   <label>Show Help:</label>
   <default>No</default>
   <choice value="No">No</choice>
   <choice value="Yes">Yes</choice>
   <change>
     <condition value="No">
       <unset token="showhelp"></unset>
     </condition>
     <condition value="Yes">
       <set token="showhelp">awwwyeah</set>
     </condition>
   </change>
 </input>
    </panel>

Hope this helps.
