Messages based on calculated field value

Hi,

If you are not evaluating the equations dynamically, you should configure the dependency rules as usual in the calculated field, but in this case the equations are not evaluated, so, you should assign a class name to the “Instruct Text” field, through the field’s attribute: “Add Css Layout Keywords”, for example: myclass, and finally, define the new style in any of the css files of your website:

.myclass{display:none;}

The field will be displayed after evaluate the equations, if the result satisfy the dependency rule.

Best regards.

Thank you for your quick answer. I try that but now my Instruct text fields are “hidden”, all in form works fine but after executing dependency rule Instruct. fields aren’t showing.
Is there a possibility to dynamicaly change visibility?
(It will be very helpfull if you place a form with such possibility among demo forms in plugin instalation.)

Hi,

Yes, you can show/hide the “Instruct. Text” field dynamically, and without using dependencies.

First, be sure to remove the field from all dependency rules.

Second, assign the class name: myclass to the “Instruct. Text” field, similar to the previous ticket, and defines the class like the previous ticket too:

.myclass{display:none;}

Finally, in your equation includes a conditional statement to display or hide the field.

For example, I will assume, for this explanation, that the equation associated to the calculated field is: fieldname1+fieldname2, and I want display the “Instruct. Text” field, if the sum is equal to 10, or hide it in other case. So, your equation would be:

(function(){
var r = fieldname1+fieldname2;
if(r == 10 ) jQuery(‘.myclass’).show();
else jQuery(‘.myclass’).hide();
})()

The fields names, and the equation, have been selected randomly only for the explanation, but this method can be used in your form.

Best regards.

Thank you. It works fine.
