HtmlHost Example 5: Dynamically styled Html (a5:style tag)

Description

Similar to conditional expressions, enable/disable and show/hide expressions , a5:style allows the style of an htmlhost tag to be a calculated value. In this example, which is an adaptation of the first example, we cause changes to the color that is selected from the color list to be used as the background color for the last column in the HTML table. Also, a checkbox has been added to toggle the visibility of the firstname and lastname embedded controls.

dim colors as c = webcolors()
dim color as c = "White"
dim fname as c = "John"
dim lname as c = "Public"
dim has_a_name as l = .f.

dim html as c = <<%html%
<html>

<style>

<body id="body">

<td a5:xdialog="[color^#colors!repaint]" 
	style="width:1in;height:2in;" ></td>
