Conditional Formatting?

[J]

I have a data access page from MS Access (as a .htm). I would like to have
the
background of certain elements change color based on values stored in other
(hidden) elements. In the related Access form, I did this with conditional
formatting. Is there a simple solution?

Unfortunately, I don't think there is. Data Access Pages are significantly
crippled when compared with Access forms. The web just doesn't provide as
rich an environment as the desktop.

You - Is there a simple solution?
Me - No.

There is an alternative though:

You can get VWD for free here:

The learning curve is steep, but worth it.

Good luck.

Actually, the simple solution is to not change anything and use Access forms
in a Terminal Server environment. No recoding of anything is necessary.
