Conditionally show/hide fields on Display Form

I'm having a bit of an issue with conditionally showing and hiding fields on a display form. The test is if Address Line 1 is blank then hide items with CSS addressFields, this works absolutely fine in the edit form using the .value() code, but I cannot get it to work in the display form using .value() or the code below? The function is called on form load.
Code: Select all
function showAddressFields () {
var AddressLine1 = fd.field('Address_x0020_Line_x0020_1').control()._el().text();
if (AddressLine1 == "") {
$('.addressFields').hide();
}
}
Address Line 1 is a single line of text field.
Help appreciated.

The actual value returned by the empty field is most likely different. In my tests, the value returned for empty fields was a space. Try to compare value to " " instead of "".

Hi Nikita,
I did previously try that as you are correct in the display form if I get the value using the console it return " " but this doesn't work either, I've tried it a couple of other ways too -
Code: Select all
if (AddressLine1 != "") {
$('.addressFields').show();
And then setting the fields to hidden by default, they just stay hidden, I've also tried
Code: Select all
if (!AddressLine1) {
$('.addressFields').show();
Again with the fields hidden by default.
None of the above works, have you any other ideas I could try?
Thanks

Try this then:
Code: Select all
function showAddressFields() {
var AddressLine1 = $.trim(fd.field('Address_x0020_Line_x0020_1').control()._el().text());
if (AddressLine1 == "") {
$('.addressFields').hide();
}
}

Hi Nikita,
Yes, that's great thanks sorted the issue and the fields are now hidden if the address is empty.
Great stuff
Thanks
