How to make help text display conditionally

[nicolemccray]

I have an 'onLoad' script that will make the help text always visible.   But instead, I need an onChange script that will display it conditionally.   If 'designate_proxy' field = yes, the help text should expand:

How can I modify the script for this to work?:

    var myVar = g_form.getControl('designate_proxy');

    toggleHelp(myVar.id);

Hi Nicole,

  Please try somthin like below:

function onChange(){

var val =g_form.getvalue('designate_proxy');

if(val == 'true'){

var elems = document.getElementsByClassName('sc-help-text annotation-wrapper');

  for (var i=0;i<elems.length;i+=1){

  if (elems[i].style.display === 'none') {

  elems[i].style.display = 'block';

  }

}

  }

let me know if you not able to get becuase here sode i didn't tested but logic should be

first get the checkbox value and based on true false you have to display the helptext.

if its not works please let me know .

thanks

This did not work.   I tried:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
          return;
    }

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var val =g_form.getvalue('designate_proxy');
if(val == 'Yes'){

var elems = document.getElementsByClassName('sc-help-text annotation-wrapper');
  for (var i=0;i<elems.length;i+=1){

  if (elems[i].style.display === 'none') {
  elems[i].style.display = 'block';
  }

  }
}
}

Hi Nicole,

Did you give a try for the script provided by me in earlier comment?

Please let me know if any concerns.

you will find it easy to hide/show if you use jquery.

Hi

designate_proxy is check box right. so you should try 'true' instead of 'yes' and

and in getvalue..v should be capital.

The field is a 'yes/no' field.   Once I capitalized the 'v', it worked!   Thank you.
