Re: [Laszlo-user] Dynamically changing font information

It does make sense that the style information should be propagated "live", so I'd consider this a potential bug, or at least something that bears further investigation. Would you mind filing a bug with a clear description or a test case?


thanks,

Ok, your suggestion worked. But I'm still a little confused as to why my solution didn't. If I explicitly do something like this:
<textlistitem fontstyle="bold" .../>
The text displayed by the textlistitem will display as bold. If, however, I try to set the attribute manually, it doesn't work. Is this a case where textlistitem should be propagating the attribute setting down to its components (i.e. _title?)
Thanks again for your help.

Your method is operating on a textlistitem, not actual text.
I think what you want is "this._title.setAttribute("fontstyle", "bold");

I have a list which is displaying some textlistitems based on information extracted from some XML data. Depending on the information in the XML, I may want an individual textlistitem to display as bold or not. I've tried doing the following, but didn't get the result I was hoping for:
    <textlistitem datapath="somedata">
       <method event="ondata">
          <![CDATA[
var textToDisplay = this.datapath.xpathQuery ("someElement/text()");
             if (someTest) {
// this.setAttribute("fontstyle", "bold"); <-- I tried
this both ways
                this.fontstyle = "bold";
             }
             this.setAttribute("text", textToDisplay);
           ]]>
      </method>
    </textlistitem>
No matter what I tried, the information was never bolded. The only way I could get bold text was to specify a fontstyle="bold" on the textlistitem tag itself. Of course, this makes every item bold, which isn't what I want. I also know that the code inside of 'someTest' is being reached. I even tried setting the fontstyle outside of the 'if', and that made no
difference either.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
