Conditional formatting of strings using javascript

Prathibha

Hi, 
 
When I tried to format a string using javascript functions like bold(), italics() in expression, the html tag for the respective function is getting appended instead of getting the bold or italics data like data 
 
The actual requirement is to 'conditionally format string' or data. 
 
Kindly help. 
 
Thanks.

Hi Prathibha,

You're doing this in the expression of a data element?

Hi Michael,

Yes, I tried it with expression.

later, I could do this using Text with <VALUE-OF format="HTML">and html tags inside.

Kindly share other ways, if any.

Thanks.

Prathibha,

You can use the following types of expressions in the onCreate method of the script on a data element to change the format.

this.getStyle().fontWeight = "bold";

Hope this helps.

I receive data in $$ separated array String which are separated further by comma, I want to display them in following fashion 
Name : value 
Addr : value 
City : value 
 
Name : value 
Addr : value 
City : value 
 
For this I am using following expression the columnName is SDR, which may contain N/A or blank values as well 
 
var myexp =/[$$]/; 
var comma =/[,]/; 
var match1 =comma.exec(dataSetRow["SDR"]); 
var match = myexp.exec(dataSetRow["SDR"]); 
if(match !=null) 
{ 
array=dataSetRow["SDR"].split("$$"); 
var string=null; 
for(var i=0; i<array.length; i++) 
{ 
string+=array+"nn"; 
} 
dataSetRow["SDR"]=string.substring(4,string.length); 
} 
else 
{ 
if(match1 !=null) 
{ 
array1=dataSetRow["SDR"].split(","); 
var string=null; 
for(var i=0; i<array1.length; i++) 
{ 
string+=array1+"nn"; 
} 
dataSetRow["SDR"]=string.substring(4,string.length); 
} 
 
else 
{ 
dataSetRow["SDR"]=dataSetRow["SDR"]; 
} 
}
