Description

Could you add a 

   CLASS=text

parm to the input box fields that surfer generates?
i.e.:

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" 
       CLASS="text"
       NAME="F_320_80" 
       MAXLENGTH=80 
       SIZE=80  
       onFocus="this.form.C_POS.value = '320'"
       onKeyUp="SSkc('F_320_80',event)"> 

We use CLASS because virtually all tags support it, but
they don't necessarily have NAME. With a consistent 
tag, we can recurse through the objects and apply style
sheets. 

Best would be to have the class name as variable, to
identify kinds of fields, e.g. unprotected, etc.

thanks,
- H

Comment Version 2 will be doing this for 3270 very soon. We are presently doing it for 5250 in the latest build.

The class specified will be directly related to the active attribute of the 3270 text (including foreground/background color) and protected/unprotected (entry/non-entry).

This enhancement should be ready next week early.

Comment Will we be able to specify our own classname?

Comment There will be a mechanism for specifying classnames--this is on a per-attribute combination as well as color issues, so it may involve 30+ class names...there is a surfer.css, also, which has the pre-defined classes and their meanings, along with a variable that lets you change the name of the .css file on a per-session basis.

This would enable some level of personalization at the .css file level (i.e. themes).
