show/hide on Client Script

[huyjor]

Hello Everyone 

I'm trying to create registration form. When the user selects student, it should show the student registration form. When the user selects instructor, it should show instructor registration form. I'm getting an error "onChange script error: ReferenceError: student is not defined function () { [native code] }". Not sure why if i miss anything. Or anything wrong with my script. Thanks for you help. 

I wrote the client script on change:

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

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

        return;

    }

    /*

    var selection = g_form.getSectionNames();

  The alert comes back to me as student_registrationform

alert(selection);

*/

    if (g_form.getValue('student_or_instructor') == student) {

        g_form.setSectionDisplay('student_registrationform', true);

    } else {

        g_form.setSectionDisplay('student_registrationform', false);

    }

}

Hi @huyjor ,

In this line 

if (g_form.getValue('student_or_instructor') == student) {

Student should be under double/single qoutes else it will treat it as a variable.

Do something like this

if (g_form.getValue('student_or_instructor') == "student") {

It should work.

Thanks,

Danish

@huyjor Please update your script as follows.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
    /*
    var selection = g_form.getSectionNames();
  The alert comes back to me as student_registrationform
alert(selection);
*/
    if (g_form.getValue('student_or_instructor') == 'student') {
        g_form.setSectionDisplay('student_registrationform', true);
    } else {
        g_form.setSectionDisplay('student_registrationform', false);
    }
}

Hope this helps.

@huyjor Glad you found solution, however there is no need to use g_form.getValue and instead use 'newValue' , try my solution as well.

The code for newValue is also working as well. Thanks
