Table Of Contents

The following script sets the background color of a specific table cell in an email to red if the

value of the field TOTAL has a negative value in the current record.

if(record.fields.TOTAL<0) {

query("#total").attr("bgcolor","red");

}

before()

Insert content before each element in the set of HTML elements that match the selector of the

script or of another query in the template (see "query()" on page1349). See also: "Examples"

on page1298.

before(content)

Before(content) inserts content before each element in the set of elements that match the

script's selector. Before() creates a new result set.

content

String, HTML string or result set to insert after the elements. In case a plain text string is

provided, it is automatically wrapped in a element to avoid orphan text nodes to

appear in the <body> element.

Examples

This script looks for an element with the ID salesrepand inserts a paragraph before that

element.

results.before("Lorem Ipsum");

Selector Matched element Matched element after script
