You can use below syntax in client script to hide a field.

g_form.setVisible('fieldName', false);

g_form.setDisplay('fieldName', false);

Hi,

Shiva using

g_form.setVisible('field name',false);

or

g_form.setDisplay('field name',false);

you can hide a field.

Tip:

If you are using it on some record producer variable kindly use g_form.setDisplay('variable name',false); .This syntax on the record producer hides the field and also saves the space of the field,so the next variable can come just in its place.

Please also go through below link for your reference.

Hello Shiva,

As for pure Javascript, you can:

document.getElementById("ID_OF_YOUR_ELEMENT").style.display = "none";   -> element is not visible and does not take screen space

or

document.getElementById("ID_OF_YOUR_ELEMENT").style.visibility = "hidden";   -> element is not visible and does take screen space

or use jQuery

$(".divIDClass").hide();

Regards,

Michal

Hi,

I would suggest you to do through UI policy

Note:For faster load times, use a UI policy instead of a client script when the only purpose of the script is to set a field to show/hide, read/write, or mandatory/optional.
