OBIEE cool effect – Mouse hover on table and row highlight

My requirement was to add some cool effect on table row hover when you move your mouse across regular table or pivot table view in OBIEE

The advantage of this feature is, its cool and not distracting and it will help you to focus one row of important analysis which you can easily distinguish from the other rows.

Here is how it looks like once you hover . It changes the table row background color to light yellow.

Also here is the look and feel on alternate row colors(as Cyan) and hover on one particular row as Yellow.

Here is the simple CSS code you need to add in Narrative view of the report and in the compound layout where your table/pivot table view is placed. Below code works good for both Table and Pivot table view

< style >

.PTChildPivotTable tr:hover td {
background-color: #FFF1CD !important;
}

< /style >

Just replace &lt; with < and &gt; with > . So what it is doing is finding the Table class used in OBIEE and overriding the table row (tr) hover on table data (td) and changed the color.

Simple and sweet ! and isn’t it cool ? 😛
