How to dynamically change color in row?

[Higgledy Smith]

I am learning JSF, using ICEFaces dataTable. Is it possible to change the text color in a cell to red if the value equals "HQ"? If it is possible can you give details on how to accomplish this? Thank you.

Try this:

 
...
<ice:column>
  <ice:outputText value="#{myBean.myValue}" styleClass="#{(myBean.myValue eq 'Ninja!')?'red':'none'}"></ice:outputText>
<ice:column>
...

The css file looks like this:

.none {}
.red { color:red;}

You can also return a style classname directly from the EL, putting the logic in the backing bean.

One way requires making the page sensitive to particular data values, the other means making the model sensitive to specific view options. Which way is "better" will depend on your particular needs.

Thank you once again, Rorco. Where did you learn so much about JSF?
