Adding border to text field

Posted on by Community Member

Hi, I am fairly new to CRM and have been making changes as i use the system. I have been asked to add borders to all the text fields on the form rather than just when hovering over the text field. Please advise. Also as an added note i have tried to add javascript that loads CSS however I'm not having much luck with that.

Hi,

There is no supported way of doing it, and it is not recommended to do any changes in DOM, I will suggest you to use html web resource for these kind of requirement under your form, where you have much flexibility to do these type of things.

Thanks

Hi i am unsure as to what the HTML would be for sorting this out. Also when i try to add a web resource such as a CSS file to a form it just errors saying "invalid type for a form"

You can't use CSS web resources for entity form, instead they are used for formatting your html web resource.

By html web resource to create your fields there for example let's say you need to show three text boxes with border, assuming you already have three text field in entity form, so create one html web resource and create three html text fields there where you can apply formatting through css or javascript. and then once user will enter value there pass that value to your source field (which is available in entity) so your value will be stored in entity field and similarly when form is opened read those values and display it under your text box.

You can refer this example : nishantrana.me/.../using-html-web-resource-in-crm-2011

There is no supported way.

You can try jscript customisations for styling textfields as:

function SetTextFieldBorder() {

var attrs = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get();

for (var i = 0; i < attrs.length; i++) {

var id = attrs[i].getName();

$('#' + id).find('.ms-crm-Inline-Value').css('border', 'solid 1px red');

}

}

attach this on form onload of the entity.

'$' is undefined error may be due to missing JQuery webresource. You need to add on the form resources. After adding re-order web resources on form so that newly added JQuery is on top.
