Is there a way to change the font of a portion of text based on parameter
values?

Joe,

You can use a text item instead of a data/label item for your text.
Then, use the <value-of> tag in for text item. ROM text spec has
detailed info about the value-of tag.

I've added a text item and i'm running into the following problem with the
value-of tag:



<VALUE-OF format="html">

var value;

value="test";

value;

</VALUE-OF>



gives the error:

There are errors on the report page:
Error1:Invalid Javascript expression: null
The expression cannot be null or empty
The expression cannot be null or empty

So then I went to the rom spec for an example and tried the following and
got the error below

<value-of format="html">

String value;

if ( 10.24 < 0 )

value = "";

value;

</value-of>

There are errors on the report page:
Error1:Invalid Javascript expression: String value; if ( 10.24 < 0 ) value =
"
missing ; before statement
missing ; before statement

Anyone tried this?

For all those interested...after much pain here's how to have 2 fonts based
on some condition:



<VALUE-OF contentType="HTML">

var value='*'+row["value"]+'*';

if(barcodeFont=="ARIAL"){

value;

}else{

value="";

value;

}

</VALUE-OF>





<VALUE-OF contentType="HTML">

var value='*'+row["value"]+'*';

if(font=="COURIER"){

value;

}else{

value="";

value;

}

</VALUE-OF>
