Is it possible to hide variable container in requested item [sc_req_item] form using a client script?

[abrahams]

With Service Catalog requested item I've tried different ways to hide the container in the requested item form but none of my attempts have worked. I seem to be able to hide other variables but I am having problems finding a way to hide containers. I would like to show/hide them based on specific criteria. Would anyone know the trick to hiding containers in a requested item form?

Syntax that I've tried:
g_form.setDisplay('variables.container name',false);
g_form.setVisible('variables.container name',false);

After submitting I see that it removed some of my syntax. I want to clarify the syntax I used.

g_form.setDisplay('variables.container_name',false);
g_form.setVisible('variables.container_name',false);

You need to find out the sys_id of the container and then use:

try {
   $("container_03c0169ccd8bf800d16dbf12db4aa87b").hide();
} catch(error) {}

Replace "03c0169ccd8bf800d16dbf12db4aa87b" with the sys_id of your Container Start variable.

The Protoype JavaScript library is included in the platform.
