Show or Hide element

[jeanl]

Hello

I have a form with a dbjoin element. I would like to add an element that should be hidden if the dbjoin element has a certain value, or if I select a specific option in the dbjoin (rendered as dropdown).

I set up the 2nd element as a field, and then I added some pre-defined JS options to the 1st element.

On load, it hides element 2, and then onselect, it still hides if the incorrect choice is made in element 1, but if I choose the specific option, onselect, it does not show element 2.

Can anyone please advise?

Thanks in advance.

Can you post screenshots of your JS event settings.

Hi Hugh

Element 1 = Customer and is a db join rendered as dropdown.
Element 2 = Field, which I want to use to add an email address, IF, customer = Private Customer.

When the form loads, the element 2 is hidden.

I think I would use a change event rather than a select event. The select will run when the element is selected and the condition will check on the value at that point, I think you want to check once it has been changed by the user.

Thank you. I changed it as per your suggestion and it still does not work.

Did you try with == and != and values instead of labels?

Hi Troester

Thank you. I am not sure where to see the values as elemnt 1 is a dbjoin.

A dbjoin element has a value (usually id[recommended], so 1,5,7...) and a label.
Just tested: you must compare to the value.
