Display More Information text when a field value is changed

kb22 · ‎07-08-2016

I know the onLoad script for automatically displaying More Information text, but was wondering if it's possible to only open it if a field is changed after opening i.e. type of request = 'delete'?

Your client script would watch the type_of_request variable. The (untested) script would look like this:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

           return;

   }

if (newValue == 'delete') {

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

       if(myVar) {

                   var myVarHelp = $('question_help_IO_' + myVar.id.split(':')[1] + '_toggle');

                   toggleVariableHelpText(myVarHelp);

       }

   }

}

How could I get this to hide if the value changes? For example, I have this working if 'newValue == 'Yes', but how could I get the help text to be hidden again if value = 'no'?
