Is there another way to get the annotations and fields under the annotations to hide or show without using the ui policies?

Hello there,

I have been working on hiding or showing certain amount of annotations and the fields under them but is not  working properly consistently.  Is there a client script available to do that?  Here is what I have been doing.

On UI Policy to Hide annotation:

Condition if number of shipping =1

onLoad clicked

execute script if true

document.getElementById("anno1").parentNode.style.display = " ";

execute if false

document.getElementById("anno1").parentNode.style.display = " none";

Will greatly appreciate the help.

Can you post a screenshot of what you're trying to hide exactly?  I'm not sure what you mean by fields under an annotation because I don't think the system groups fields under an annotation as far as I know.

hey Mark,

Thanks for the response. I understand that the fields are not grouped under the annotations. What I was trying to explain is that when I try to hide the fields in a UI Policy through UI Actions when also having a script to hide the annotations it doesn't work for me and that is why I asked if there is another way to have both done at the same time using an onChange client script with conditional to when I want them to show or hide them.

Can you confirm that the show/hide of the annotation works fine if you just do that on its own?  You could simplify the script a bit by using PrototypeJS like this, but I don't think that's going to make a difference.

$("anno1").parentNode.show();

$("anno1").parentNode.hide();

UI Policy scripts are basically client scripts so the DOM statements you are using in the UI Policy will also work in a client script:

document.getElementById("anno1").parentNode.style.display = " ";

document.getElementById("anno1").parentNode.style.display = " none";
