Hilite Lines on Hover in List Field

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Sivakatirswami,

Here are two solutions. Put the first one into the script of a list  
field. Put the second script into the script of a non-list field.

on mouseMove
   put word 2 of the mouseLine into myLineNr
   if myLineNr is not empty and the hilitedline of me is not myLineNr  
then
     set the hilitedLine of me to myLineNr
   end if
end mouseMove

on mouseMove
   put word 2 of the mouseLine into myLineNr
   if myLineNr is not empty and the backColor of line myLineNr of me \
       is not yellow then
     set the backColor of line 1 to -1 of me to white
     set the backColor of line myLineNr of me to yellow
   end if
end mouseMove

Is this what you need?

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
