:ph34r: Hi all


While compare testing each bits of the components of the older version of 3.10.3 as well as 3.12… I have come across a glitch on one of the keywords which is seems very weird.



%asset_status_colour% only displays ASCII character on all version of the browsers. :wink:



For example for blue it display this ascii character (#AACCDD) rather that the actual colour. :lol:



Cheers :smiley:

That's the desired behaviour. You can then use that colour value anyway you want to.

Displaying the colour code is not very helpful for the users because they will need to either memorise the codes or use a reference table, but mainly it’s not helpful for an overview since it’s not presented in a proper visual format. ( It’s a lot easier to see which pages are under construction in a report if there is a blue square next to them, rather than trying to find where the #AACCDD codes are).





The other way not to display the ASCII character when using this particular keyword is to incorporate inside a html or css tags. Is that correct ??

This is the intention of the keyword. :slight_smile: You should be using it to colour the background of an HTML item with the appropriate colour. For example:



[html]<span style=“background-color: %asset_status_colour%;”>%asset_status%</span>[/html]



This will make the background of the text the correct status colour.
