Selectors provide documents with interactivity, allowing a user to change how he sees the data. When the user chooses an item in the selector, data related to that item is displayed in all Grid/Graphs and panel stacks targeted by the selector.
The background of a selector can be:
A single color
A gradient, which is a combination of two colors
Transparent, to allow what is behind the selector to show through (default)
Items that are selected in a selector are highlighted with a different background color, to indicate that they are selected. By default, this background is automatically chosen to provide contrast with the background of the selector. You can specify the color of selected items in Drop-down, Listbox, and Link Bar selectors. For Drop-down and Listbox selectors, the selection color is displayed in Flash Mode in XBRi. For the Link Bar, the selection color is displayed in all XBRi modes except Design Mode.
For example, a document contains a Link Bar selector that targets a Grid/Graph. The selector's background is set to light gray, and the background for selected items is set to the default color. In Flash Mode, the selected item is automatically displayed in light gray to provide contrast.
The following steps format the background color of the selector and items that are selected.
