Hiding a line based on Context data

[Former Member]

In my form I am attempting to check my context data field for a value using Javascript and then I have a line in my form that I am trying to hide based on it.

The Javascript is in the readyForm event of the "Signature" Subform.

However, it is not working, Any ideas,

Drag and drop the LOGO(text field) from data view below the subform(signature subform) and above the line(lineER1).

then  write the below FormCalc in the "layout ready" event.

if ($.parent.LOGO == "Y" ) then

$.lineER1 = "hidden"

else

$.lineER1 = "visible"

endif

Got this to work with some tweaks to the code above.

if ( $.LOGO.rawValue == "Y" ) then

$.LineER1.presence = "hidden"

else

$.LineER1.presence = "visible"

endif

Thanks Naveen

Hello Mike,

     You are not able to hide the line because you have written the Javascript code on the Ready Form Event. So remove the code from Ready Form event and put the code in the Initialize Event of Signature Sub form. It will work.

Moved to Initialize and still does not work. I wish SAP or Adobe had made it easy to be able to reference these variables without having to figure out through trial and error if you are referencing the correct one or not in Javascript.

hi  Mike Andries  

try this javascript code 

if(xfa.resolveNodes("xfa.record.LOGO[0]").item(0).value=="Y")

{

Line1.presence = "hidden";

}

hope it will help

That didnt work either. Its just a variable in the context and not part of any table data.

hi Mike Andries

i know about it that this xfa.resolveNodes("xfa.record.LOGO[0]").item(0).value=="Y"

is used for fetching the data from table but it can also fetch data from variable also i

used this code on initialization it is working fine .
