WebTextEdit ClientSideEvent Javascript - Can't Eval
posted


Hi, I urgently need help, please.

WebtextEdit ClientSideEvent execute javascript statement on mousemove event. I can successfully change the style of another object type on this WebTextEdit ClientSide MouseMove event:document.getElementById("Object2").style.backgroundColor = '#F0F5F7';

But when I want to change the style of the WebTextEdit control:
document.getElementById("WebTextEdit1").style.backgroundColor = '#F0F5F7'; Then nothing happens

When I execute the script on the same WebTextEdit Clientside for another object which is not a WebtextEdit:
Object2.style.border='1px solid #FFE6A0'; Then it works

But when I want to change the WebtextEdit Clientside style:
WebTextEdit1.style.border='1px solid #FFE6A0';

Then I get Error: Can't Eval WebTextEdit1.style.border='1px solid #FFE6A0';

Please Help

    You want to use the CSOM of the WebTextEdit, rather than just the JavaScript DOM.  The WebTextEdit object you get from one of the client-side events is a JavaScript object, but not directly an HTML element.  The object does not directly have a "style" property, which is why you get this error.

    The style properties, including borders, are off the Element property of the WebTextEdit control itself.

    function WebTextEdit_MouseMove(oEdit, text, oEvent)
    {
        oEdit.Element.style.backgroundColor = '#F0F5F7';
    }
