I apologize for this in advance, because I am fairly certain this is in the forums somewhere, but I have not had success searching for it (likely because of some brain block on my part).
Anyway, I have a grid with columns whose values are either passed or failed. I want the cell color to change from the default style to something like red if the value in the cell is failed. I really don't know where to start on this. Any advice is welcome. Thank You!

ok to change the cell you need it's background - I'll use BGCOLOR but some wise ass will correct my and say that you need to use CSS, at which point I'll do an inline CSS - and yet another person will tell me that is incorrect
but back to the problem
what you do is chuck another label into the row - for our purpose the BGCOLOR way it must be inside the TD tag - link that to the DB value field of which you want to test
now we can go 2 ways - we go the lazy - less type way
encapsulate the label so you have something like this
<td bgcolor="{Label1}">
click on the label (select it) go the properties and click on the tab - and add a before show - add code - click click and click
ok now in the event you do this
if eventcaller.value = "wakkawakka" then
eventcaller.value="#ff0000"
else
eventcaller.value="#0000ff"
end if
more values? use a case select statement
disclaimer: my hex values were pulled from nowhere I'm not sure what colors they are - but they are gonna be bright

Read (CCS 3+, 4+) Helpfiles: Working with Attributes.
T's method is fine but Attributes are the way to do this nicely.

I cheated. I formatted the output to include html and then changed the label to output html. That way was so darn easy, I built a view with the formatting in sql and then pulled the grid from the view.

That is how I did it before
- knowing the label approach,
- the attribute approach
- knowing, owning CCS.
Good job.
I do it for creating links, dynamic menues and the lot.
Is called SQL driven Application Design, at least as of today it is.
