Format text color in search box

Dear all

I wan't to have my search box to display different text depending on how many selections the User makes in a single field(DegreeType). This has not been a problem, I used the following expression:

=if(GetSelectedCount(DegreeType)=1,GetFieldSelections(DegreeType),

     if(GetSelectedCount(DegreeType)>1,

          'Select one value ONLY',

          'Select Degree Type'))

However, I want to give the warning text a red color, meaning the text strings 'Select one value ONLY' and 'Select Degree Type' should be red (and not gray as they are now) whenever the user selects 0 or more than 1 Degree Type.

I can't figure it out though - can anyone help med on this?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Bruno

Hi Angad

Thanks for the answer and as far as I Know your right.

However, I Wonder if it's possible to do some html programming in the expression instead that would turn the 2 textstrings red?

Cheers

I think you need to search for some extensions made for this, or using macros to change the font color.

One such extension i found is here :

You need to google it, or create an extension yourself for this.
