Unable to set the font color for the field Label

[NeilGove1]

I am unable to change the font color of a field's label. 

In my custom object, I have a reference to the SPAN element (var myElement) which contains field label text.

I validated this by dumping its text and HTML to the console.log.  

My code uses the following js which is in the Sys.Application.add_load(function

myElement.style.color = 'red';

No errors occur but the text is still black.

We're running R6.8 P4 HF2 (6.8.00402.1001).

Any help on how to properly set the font color of a field's label would be appreciated.

NeilGove1,

<script>
	$('#loitem47349').attr('style', 'color: #4169E1 !important');
</script>

And use your own ID instead of loitem47349.

Thanks Ilya.  Is there a good way to get the loitem #.  I have the code to look up the fieldid.  I want the code to be generic so when migrated to other instances it works without having to change the code. Thanks

@NeilGove1, the loitem # is the field id

[Ilya_Khen]

My bad The code David provided will work exactly as you need as returning field ID needed in this case.

[NeilGove1]

Which function returns the correct id of the label?  If I use lookupFieldId passing the field name it returns the fieldId but this is not the id used for the field label (in the <SPAN id='loitem ).  Is there another function or a way to call lookupFieldId and have it return the label id used with the loitem# ?  Again we're on R6.8 P4 HF2.  Thanks

You just need to combine field ID and prefix 'loitem'.

[DavidPetty]

My bad.  The loitem is the layout id not the field id.

Use the following to get the loitem number.

$CM._fields[fieldId].layoutId

Thanks David. Was able to get it working with your and Ilya's help.
