Is it possible to tweak a template so that it could indicate if I have entered "Lyrics" and/or "Personal Notes" to a track?

Maybe by using a small icon or the letters L and/or N right next to the actual track?

Hi hardbop,

I have built in a function that places different small icons next to a track in album page (well, in all pages if I want) if it is a Favourite Track, or a Classic Track, or has a particular type of solo in it. I have sent you an instant message - check your box!

Blowers,
This sounds interesting! I have two colored asterisks for my tracks but I would really be interested in seeing what you have. Could your forward to me please? Thanks and take care ...!

When time allows (I have started, but must work now!) I will send both of you what I have done.

Many of us are interested in how you did this. Please post it for everyone to see.

Hope these will be of use to you all. I attach my template, and a doc explaining (a tad clumsily, I'm afraid) how to utilise my icons feature). Any probs, just shout!

Thanks so much for this. I now have an iPod icon next to the tracks I have on my device. If I could bother you further. You use a textbox, but I have already used a checkbox in my dataase and would naturally prefer to use the existing data I have rather than convert it. I don't know enough to know how to use a checkbox instead of a textbox in my adaptation of your code:

<!-- ==== START CT-FT FUNCTION ====== -->
<script type="text/javascript">
/* ----------------------------- */
function checkValue2(trackcustom8)
/* ----------------------------- */
{
switch (trackcustom8.toLowerCase())
{
case "ip":
// on iPod
document.write(" <img width=13 src='h:\\itunes\\ipod.ico'>");
break;

default:
// All other tracks - do nothing
break;
}
}
</script>
<!-- ==== END CT-FT FUNCTION ====== -->

I don't know what value a checkbox returns to use in the case statement or even if a case statement is the right syntax to use.

I should say I think I know why you used a textbox as you wanted to signal many different things; but all I want to signal is whether it is on my iPod so a checkbox works better.

Thanks

I'm afraid I honestly don't know - I'm not that experienced at all in programming! That's why I used a textbox. My only suggestion would be to search for all tracks with your IP checkbox checked, then bulk edit that info into a pre-prepared textbox so you could just follow my example. I only know this way of doing it through following someone else's example several years ago!
