properties vs local variable

[Terence Heaford]

Thanks for your help.

It did not work initially but a bit of google identified the # is not required with RGB colours.

However, when using this it only colours the bgcolor behind the text and not the whole field.

Here is my test script.

 put "255,255,255" into tFontColor
 put "62,117,215" into tBackColor
 put "This is my text" into tText
 put merge("<font color=[[quote]][[tFontColor]][[quote]] bgcolor=[[quote]][[tBackColor]][[quote]]> [[tText]] </font>") into tHTML
 set the htmlText of fld "result" to tHTML

As it’s HTML I am assuming it’s not possible to colour the whole field using this method?

All the best

Terry
