Hide Annotations

[gaidem]

I've gotten the element ID and tried doing a .style.display='none'; This seemed like a long shot, so I'm not surprised it didn't work. Does anyone know how to conditionally show/hide an annotation?

Thanks!

The Section and Line Separators do not have specific IDs or even good distinguishing attributes to be able to specify a good selector and hide them.
You could always use the custom separator and put in your own HTML, with a unique ID to use in your script. You could look at the HTML source for a current line separator and try to recreate that in a custom annotation with your ID.

Thanks for the idea! I'll try it.

Awesome! U rock!

You should be able to use the nextSibling method to hide the annotation. I would use firebug (in FireFox) to see what field is before that annotation and get the id of that field then use nextSibling.

Here is a reference on nextSibling

I did something similar here with DOM manipulation

You could do something like:

var annotation = gel('my_field').nextSibling;
g_form.setDisplay(annotation, false);

Hi Ivan,

I believe that code requires you to include the table for the gel parameter. For example:

var annotation = gel('table.my_field').nextSibling;
g_form.setDisplay(annotation, false);

However I still get the following error: "id.indexOf is not a function" any idea?
