Hide The Submit Button on a Catalog Client Script

[Snow Tomcal]

Hi All,

I want to hide the submit button on a specific catalog item based on a condition.

I tried using a UI policy but it's executed after the page has loaded. Because the page is heavy, it takes a second and the user can see the submit button before it disappears.  Is there any way to hide the button before the page loads? 

Thanks 🙂

@Snow Tomcal Can your reduce the order of the client script so that it can run slightly earlier.

I tried it, still takes few seconds.

Is there a way to change it before the form loads?

Hi @Snow Tomcal , 

here is some solution using on change client script based on the condition 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }
   var ab = g_form.getValue('u_select_value');
	if(ab == 'a'){
		this.jQuery('button').hide();
	}

   
}

It still takes a few seconds for the button to disappear.

@Snow Tomcal 

why to hide submit button? It requires DOM manipulation and is not recommended

just stop the form submission using return false in onSubmit client script.
