Literal controls

Is there a way is Board to push custom CSS or javascript to a screen? Other applications I've used have the concept of a literal control, the contents of which are passed to the browser without being encoded, such that I can send CSS or Javascript to enhance the user experience.

Hi Nigel,

Welcome to the community. My background is in data analysis and not programming however, you may be interested to learn that BOARD 11.(yet to be determined) will include Python and 'R' integration. I am currently enquiring about BOARD and REST API development as I have a need to use BOARD as a data source in other apps as well as to push data directly into BOARD cubes. I'll let you know what I find out in the coming weeks if you let me know what you do mate.

Hi Paul,

Literal controls would be a nice addition, which would allow you to push CSS or javascript to the UI. For instance, I've got a couple of buttons that would look great with a :hover element added. That means with the bit of CSS below, every button on the page would change colour when the mouse hovers over it, something you can't do at the moment.

.button-wordwrap:hover {background-color: rgb(172, 207, 234) !important;}

Kind regards,

Nigel
