Draft watermark - hide or show object in masterpage?

[Alison_GB]

I'm very new to this so am just learning as I go and realise that what I want to do may not be possible but here goes.

I have a livecycle form with extended user rights enabled so that the content can be saved.

However the user would like to be able to add a "draft" watermark to this while it is in progress and then remove it when the form is completed (it takes some time!!)

I know watermarks aren't possible with livecycle forms but I thought maybe I could cheat a little and insert a button at the end which would change show or hide a text object "draft" in the masterpage to basically turn a watermark on or off.

This doesn't seem to work though.

Is there anyway at all to allow the user to change the visibility of an object in the masterpage? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance if anybody can help.

Hi,

One option is in this form, which uses a textfield on the Master Page. Have a look at the script in the click event of the radio button exclusion group:

Thank you so much.

That was really helpful - it did exactly what I wanted it to.
