JavaScript Show / Hide elements
From All n One's bxp software Wixi
The simple way to show or hide elements is to use the style tag of the object.
document.getElementById(strFieldName).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(strFieldName).style.display = 'inline';
Inline shows the item.
None hides the item.
In campaigns to save time, we've implemented a lot of automatic show and hides.
Firstly, we've made show / hide separate function calls for easy of use, with a toggle function as well as implicit show and hide.
//========================================================================
function fn_Gen_Toggle ( strFieldName ){
if (document.getElementById(strFieldName).style.display == 'none'){
fn_Gen_Show ( strFieldName );
}
else {
fn_Gen_Hide ( strFieldName );
}
}
//========================================================================
function fn_Gen_Hide ( strFieldName ){
document.getElementById(strFieldName).style.display = 'none';
}
//========================================================================
function fn_Gen_Show ( strFieldName ){
document.getElementById(strFieldName).style.display = 'inline';
}
A commonly asked question is how are the form elements turned on and off. With one function call to fn_Gen_EndElements you can show or hide most of the bottom elements of the page.
Simply add fn_Gen_EndElements ( blComments, blOutcome, blCallback, blAssignedTo, blViewAppointments, blAppFrom, blAppUntil, blClosing ), replacing each of the parameters with true or false as required to Main Menu > Form Management > Form - Primary Management > Form - Advanced Settings > Select your Form > JavaScript onLoad section > Opening code execution > put in the function call here.
Here is the detail of the function if you want to reuse some of the JavaScript separately.
function fn_Gen_EndElements ( blComments, blOutcome, blCallback, blAssignedTo, blViewAppointments, blAppFrom, blAppUntil, blClosing ){
//----------------------------------------------------
if ( blComments == false) { fn_Gen_Hide ( 'tableBE_Comments' ); }
else{ fn_Gen_Show ( 'tableBE_Comments' ); }
//----------------------------------------------------
if ( blOutcome == false) { fn_Gen_Hide ( 'tableBE_Outcome' ); }
else{ fn_Gen_Show ( 'tableBE_Outcome' ); }
//----------------------------------------------------
if ( blCallback == false) { fn_Gen_Hide ( 'tableBE_Callback' ); }
else{ fn_Gen_Show ( 'tableBE_Callback' ); }
//----------------------------------------------------
if ( blAssignedTo == false) { fn_Gen_Hide ( 'tableBE_AssignTask' ); }
else{ fn_Gen_Show ( 'tableBE_AssignTask' ); }
//----------------------------------------------------
if ( blViewAppointments == false) { fn_Gen_Hide ( 'tableBE_ViewAppointments' ); }
else{ fn_Gen_Show ( 'tableBE_ViewAppointments' ); }
//----------------------------------------------------
if ( blAppFrom == false) { fn_Gen_Hide ( 'tableBE_AppointmentFrom' ); }
else{ fn_Gen_Show ( 'tableBE_AppointmentFrom' ); }
//----------------------------------------------------
if ( blAppUntil == false) { fn_Gen_Hide ( 'tableBE_AppointmentTo' ); }
else{ fn_Gen_Show ( 'tableBE_AppointmentTo' ); }
//----------------------------------------------------
if ( blClosing == false) { fn_Gen_Hide ( 'tableBE_ClosingScript' ); }
else{ fn_Gen_Show ( 'tableBE_ClosingScript' ); }
}
