Making initially invisible/hidden fields appear after addInstance

[agodina]

I have a form which has fields in it that are hidden/invisible when the form initializes.  The form also has a button that can make the field appear under certain conditions using the following:

form1.Subform1.Subform2.TextField1.presence="visible";

But the problem occurs when I try to create a new instance of _Subform2.TextField1.  Every time a new instance of TextField1 is generated, it will appear invisible/hidden as well.

How do you go about retreiving the name or reference of the newly generated textfield in order to set it to "visible"?

I am trying to catch it with a for loop, but it is currently not working:

var Subform2Length = Subform2.nodes.length;

_Subform2.addInstance();
    for (var nCount = 0; nCount < Subform2Length; nCount ++)
    {
        if ((Subform2.nodes.item(nCount).className == "subform") & (Subform2.nodes.item(nCount).presence == "invisible"))
        {
        Subform2.nodes.item(nCount).presence="visible";
        }

Any assistance is appreciated.  Thanks.

Try like this in the event where you add the instance for Subform2..

Place it after you add a new Instance..

//Get the InstranceManager count and reduce it by 1. Because Index starts with 0.

var intNewIndex  = form1.Subform1.Subform2.instanceManager.count-1;

form1.Subform1.ResolveNode("Subform2[" + intNewIndex + "]").TextField1.presence="visible";

It worked like a charm.  Thank you ver much!

For anyone that uses this:  It didn't work initially but it was because the 'ResolveNode' argument was incorrectly capitalised.  It should read "resolveNode" instead.

Srini,

I have a question about the code (I am not a programmer by trade and am trying to learn to make Livecycle easier to use):

What is the significance of placing the plus signs (+) around the 'intNewIndex' argument?

[Srini_Dhulipall]

("Subform2[" + intNewIndex + "]")

I am using JavaScript as Language for this script. + sign in Java Script is used for String concatenation. I am concatenating Subform2 with current index in the parenthesis.

So for example, if the intNewIndex value is 1, then after the concatenation the code will look like..

     ("Subform2[1]")

Hope this helps..

Thanks
