Background Class Colors with CSS
REDCap's css includes some familiar background-colored warning boxes. Here is an example where a descriptive text question is used as a warning when someone tries to collect another time point in a longitudinal study without checking the enrollment status of the participant first. The code presented below is placed in the Field Label column (column E) in your data dictionary, or the Field Label box in the Online Designer.
The code looks like: (please note that the code should all be place as a single line)
| Code Block |
|---|
<div class="red" style="text-align:center;">
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Participant is not ACTIVE</h3>
Please review participant status form before continuing.
</div>
Copy and paste the code below directly in the Field Label cell or your Online Designer
<div class="red" style="text-align:center;"><h3 style="text-align:center;">Participant is not ACTIVE</h3>Please review participant status form before continuing.</div> |
You can also use "yellow" and "green".
Highlight a sub-section within a larger section with CSS
This can be used to highlight or distinguish sub-sections within a larger section, without using the Section Header column. This is a 'descriptive' field.
The code looks like:
| Code Block |
|---|
<table width="100%" bgcolor="CCFFCC"><tr><td>OCT Tumor</td></tr></table> |
You can use standard colors ("red", "yellow", "green", "blue", etc.), or hexadecimal color codes (link to more html colors)
Smaller italic text for additional data in a question with CSS
