Visualforce Page Component for a Banner
Hello Experts,
I am extremely new to the APEX Coding and to Visualforce Pages. I am trying to write, or find, an easy way to create a Red Banner, or Scrolling Marque, for my Account pages. Here is what I am trying to do or need:
If a field, Total_Elec_Gas_Avg_Usage__c, is greater or equal to 100,000, then I would like a Banner that states that the company is a "Key Account". You would think that this would be easy to code for. During my search the only thing that I have found is the following:
""the page will something like
<apex:page standardController="Account">
<b>PUT YOUR TEXT HERE</b>
</apex:page>
and then use this visualforce page at the top of your Account's Page Layout."
Alas, this gives me an error. Now of course I did add it to my profile but still received an error. I would like to keep this as simple as possible. Now I could and am using an image formula for my list views, but I need something more prominent for my Account pages.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank-you.

This will do,
<apex:page standardController="Account"> <apex:outputPanel style="background-color:red;width:100%;padding:10px;" rendered="{!Account.Total_Elec_Gas_Avg_Usage__c >= 100000}">KEY ACCOUNT</apex:outputPanel> </apex:page>All Answers
What is the error you are seeing? Please post the error message. Also it would be great if you can post your real code or at least a part of it.

Can you share the error that you are seeing? Also, you can use conditional rendering in your vf page to display the banner conditionally: http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/45299/conditional-rendering-inside-visualforce-pages

Now when I used the Developer Console to try and debug the following code:
<apex:page standardController="Account" tabStyle="Account" sidebar="false">
<apex:sectionHeader title="One of Your Accounts" subtitle="Exciting !"/>
<apex:detail subject="{!account.ownerId}" relatedList="true" title="true"/>
</apex:page>
I get the following error:
Just some more insight on this, I am using the Visualforce Developer's Guide.
The end result that I am looking for is a red banner with wording of "KEY ACCOUNT" in the banner, when the field Total_Elec_Gas_Avg_Usage__c, is greater or equal to 100,000.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

This will do,
<apex:page standardController="Account"> <apex:outputPanel style="background-color:red;width:100%;padding:10px;" rendered="{!Account.Total_Elec_Gas_Avg_Usage__c >= 100000}">KEY ACCOUNT</apex:outputPanel> </apex:page>That did the trick, thank-you very much for your assistance. One last question for you: How or what coding do I use to make the "KEY ACCOUNT" bigger?

Use this,
<apex:page standardController="Account"> <apex:outputPanel style="font-size: 40px;background-color:red;width:100%;padding:10px;" rendered="{!Account.Total_Elec_Gas_Avg_Usage__c >= 100000}">KEY ACCOUNT</apex:outputPanel> </apex:page>For more css refer this page,

Any idea how you can place this VF page above the "Account Detail" section? When I go to add it to the page layout, the page layout editor will not let me add it above that section. I end up being forced to create a new section and put the VF page in there. Thanks!
