Hide subform if text field is null

I have this script on the change event of a text field:

if ((this.rawValue != "null") || (this.rawValue != ""))
{
checkBoxThree.presence = "visible";
}

else
{
checkboxThree.presence = "hidden";
}

It is correctly displaying the checkBoxThree subform when data is entered in the text field.

However, if the user goes back and deletes the text, I would like the subform to become hidden and it isn't. How should I change the script to accomplish this?

Thanks,

MDawn

Hi,

try this script:

checkBoxThree.presence = xfa.event.fullText.length == 0 ? "visible" : "hidden";

Hello,

This script works perfectly and I was able to incorporate it into my form. Now the business owners want me to keep the user from submitting the form if the checkbox is visible and unchecked.

I can get the checkbox to be mandatory when visible, but am having trouble getting the checkbox to be non required when hidden.

Thanks,

I tried the changes you suggested and also noticed I had checkBoxThree mis-capitalized in the 'else' statement. I fixed all that and it still doesn't hide the subform  if the user deletes the content from the text field.

Hi,

Change your if statement as follows it would work..

if (this.rawValue != null)

checkBoxThree.presence = "visible";

}

else

{

checkboxThree.presence = "hidden";

}

Please place the code on the Exit event of the textfield then it will work.
