Hide a table if not all values in

[stpmtp]

hello,

I was wondering if somebody could help me out. I have a table, and I am going to be entering data into it. I would like for none of the data to show if the table is not complete and for the data to show if the table is complete. Could anybody give me a hand with this?

Thanks in advance

<table width="200" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>ID</td>
    <td>Record</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>1</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>4</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Do you want to hide each row, or the entire table? I'm assuming you want to hide rows 2,3, and 4 in your example.

This would be best done using your ASP, PHP, or .NET, whatever scripting language you are using. I'll highlight ASP for you:

<table width="200" border="1">
<%
    While (Not rs.EOF)
        If (Len(Trim(rs("record"))) > 0) Then
%>
  <tr>
    <td>ID</td>
    <td>Record</td>
  </tr>
<%
        End If
        rs.MoveNext
    Wend
%>
</table>

Take Care,
Mike

This is actually more of a scripting issue, than javascript. So you might want to move the question to the appropriate forum.

I want to hide the whole table, the users are going to enter the data from a form

so they will be entering data into a form which will eventually appear in a table on the same page, without refreshing, only when the data is complete?

The user enters the data in a form and then they can go and look at the posted data in a different web page. I am in the process of building all of these

If that is the case then I agree with Michael - you should only display the data if you want to display the data. You'll be pulling data from a database. If the data is complete, output the HTML, otherwise output nothing.

[stpmtp]

so this would be an asp script?

 

[MikeBronner]

You tell us. Are you using a database backend right now? What scripting language are you using?

Take Care,
