Re: make trim text selectable?

2009-03-17 Thread Arner, Todd
I am able to select trim text using mid-tier 7.1 patch 4 and ie 6.  Is
your text maybe behind a box or some other transparent object?

Hello ARSListers: 

I have a pretty basic problem. 
There is a string contained in some trim text. I need my users
to be able to select and copy this text in a web-browser via mid tier. 
Normally it's not a problem to select any string of characters
on a web page, but BMC seems to have employed some trickery whereby
trim-text is not selectable? 

Does anyone know a workaround for this? 

thanks,

I did not know (never tried) that a
text field was not selectable on the web.

What you could try to see if it worked for you is a display only
character field. Make the label blank and select the display as text
option on the display tab and check the display type from default to
hide. I use it to display dynamic text and if you have a url in the
field it is clickable. Of course you will need an active link to
populate on open window.

Hope this helps.
