Hide button with onChange Client Script?

[Edwin Fuller]

I have the below script that is currently not working. I need to hide the "Complete Task" button if the state changes to any of the following. "-940", "-941", "-942", "-943". Can someone help me correct this script?

function onChange(){

      //If the incident type is 1,2,3

}

showCloseTaskButton('Convert to Request');

function showCloseTaskButton(button) {

      if(g_form.getValue('state' == -940) || g_form.getValue('state' == -941 || g_form.getValue('state' == -942) || g_form.getValue('state' == -943)){

              //show the 'Convert to Request'

              var items = $$('BUTTON').each(function(item){

                      if(item.innerHTML.indexOf('Complete Task') > -1){

                              item.show();

                      }

              });

      } }

Is the requirement to not show the button if the form is already in one of your closed states or to actively hide it if they change the state using the state field on the form? If the former, add a condition to the button to hide it. If the latter, I believe the "indexOf" should search for the action name instead of the displayed name of the button.

The requirement is to actively hide the button once a user selects the state of "-940", "-941", "-942", "-943" using the state field

Ok, ensure that your UI Action has the field "Action Name" populated with a value. Then update your script

function onChange(){

      //If the incident type is 1,2,3

}

showCloseTaskButton('Convert to Request');

function showCloseTaskButton(button) {

      if(g_form.getValue('state' == -940) || g_form.getValue('state' == -941 || g_form.getValue('state' == -942) || g_form.getValue('state' == -943)){

              //show the 'Convert to Request'

              var items = $$('BUTTON').each(function(item){

                      if(item.innerHTML.indexOf('action_name_you_gave_it') > -1){

                              item.show();

                      }

              });

      } }

Hi Edwin,

Your ui actions you can have an action name, so if for instance you have a button with action name "testme" you can have an onChange client script with:

var state = g_form.getValue('state');   
 if(state == '-940' || state == '-941' || state == '-942' || state == '-943'){
 $$('#testme')[0].hide();   
} else {   
 $$('#testme')[0].show();   
} 

if you have the button at the top and bottom of the page, add lines with [1] as well
