App. Express -- Change font size in the item label.

Question

I would like to size the item label so I did this and it did not work
in the label I put <span style="font-size:12px;">ITEM 1</span> and
<span style="font-weight:bold;">ITEM 1</span>
What wrong?

Hello,
The basic “trick” here is to duplicate the proper label template (you can of course change the original label template, but that’s less advisable) in order to add an ID to the text/link part.
In my example, the template is base on the “Optional Label with Help” template, and the “Before Label” field contains the following:
<label for="#CURRENT_ITEM_NAME#" tabindex="999"><a class="t2OptionalwithHelp" id="L_#CURRENT_ITEM_NAME#" href="javascript:popupFieldHelp('#CURRENT_ITEM_ID#','&SESSION.')" tabindex="999">In order to maintain ID uniqueness, the new ID just adds “L_” to the item name.
Now I have direct access to the text/link, and I can manipulate it using JavaScript. In the example, I added the following to the region footer:
<script type="text/javascript">
$x('L_P160_ITEM2').style.fontSize = '20px';
$x('L_P160_ITEM3').style.fontSize = '30px';
$x('L_P160_ITEM3').style.color = 'green';
</script>Regards,
Arie.
Hi Carl,
As usual I was busy typing and didn’t see your reply. I agree that a specific example would be the best and easiest way to help.
