Hiding Fields 1

perlone · Aug 12, 2001

Please go to the following URL to see what i'm saying:

http://www.idtest.f2s.com/test.html

If the user clicked the Use Random box, I want to hide/disable the Password field. For example, if you're not a member on tek-tips.com and if you post a message, the "Email Notfication" field will be hidden. Any idea how to do this that works both with IE and Netscape? Thanks for your time.

You can use javascript and layers (hide/unhide) although I don't know if you can do that with check boxes. Tek-Tips is written in ColdFuson which allows them to check a database to see if you are a member, and then the pages coded with a lot of if/then statements. DeZiner

AaronGeorge, here is a little example on how 2 hide some field on the page (in this case it is abutton, but it can be anything u want)

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>hide a button</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var NC=(document.layers)?true:false
function setVis(v){
var oobject
if (document.all){ oobject=document.all.l3.style;}
else if (document.layers){
oobject=document.layers.l1;
}
oobject.visibility=(v)?(NC?"show":"visible&quot

NC?"hide":"hidden&quot

alert(document.forms.f1.b1.style.visibility)
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<form name=f1>
<input type=button value='make visible' onclick="setVis(true)" name=b1>
<input type=button value='make invisible' onclick="setVis(false)"><br>
</form>

<ilayer id='l1' ><layer id='l2' ><div id=l3 style='position:relative'><form name=newf><input type=button value='appearing' onclick=""></form></div></layer></ilayer>
</BODY>
</HTML>

but note, that in netscape every layer has its one separate document object, so, 2 make it work in netscrap, u'll have 2 write it like i did (i meen u'll have more than 1 form, in eavh layer u'll have different form)
regards, vic
