Positioning a subform using javascript

[dieter_vanderdonckt]

I have 2 positioned subforms containing several textfields.

In some cases subform A has to be printed left, subform B right.

In other cases subform A has to be printed right, subform B left.

I want to position the subforms in runtime using below javascripts.

data.MasterPages.PageFront.Header.CompanyAddress::initialize - (JavaScript, client)

if ( $record.PUBLIC.OPTIONS.PRINT_OPTIONS.Z_LOGO_POS.value == 'L' )

this.x = "1cm";

else

this.x = "11cm";

data.MasterPages.PageFront.Header.CustomerAddress::initialize - (JavaScript, client)

if ( $record.PUBLIC.OPTIONS.PRINT_OPTIONS.Z_LOGO_POS.value == 'L' )

this.x = "11cm";

else

this.x = "1cm";

For some reason the subforms are not positioned correctly.

The condition field reference is 100% correct.

Even if i remove the condition, the forms are not positioned correctly.

Any idea what could be the problem ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Subform A and Subform B must be wrapped under another Positioned Subform, then only you can change the coordinates.

Thanks.

Dear UmaS.

I have a similar issue there. Would that also work in case of having a simple subform?.

I mean, so far I have two subforms ( one per each area - left and right ) and I use the presence property.

But it would be just amazing if I would only use one subform and would be able to move it to the right or left.

Would it be possible?.

Kind Regards.

Hi,

There is another solution for this problem.

Create two subforms

One having subform A in left and Sub B in right

second with subform B in left and Sub A in right

Give one subform to be hidden

Give condition in formcalc/javascript which one to be visible and which one to be hidden.

this should work 'cos i have worked on the same prb and it worked fine

Try out this
