why will only one of my progressive disclosure instances work?

[JennyAnnRowe-ou]

My form has three sections all of which have a progressive disclosure element. Independantly they work fine, but as a whole they don't. Only one progressive disclosure instance will work at a time. So, if the first one is activated, such as the end user clicks on a check box and a hidden subform pops up, then the following progressive disclosure instances will not pop up when they are supposed to.

Why is it doing that and how can I get all of my hidden subforms to pop up when they are supposed to?

The form is attached.

If I set all of your subforms from hidden to invisible it works fine.

Thanks Paul,

Why does it work on invisible and not hidden?  Also, do you think there will be a problem with those once-invisible-but-now-present objects remaining present upon email submission and printing?  I noticed from threads that other people were having trouble like that.

Thank you again. You are really helpful.

Hi,

Not sure I can explain what is happening but if I set the "Allow Page Breaks within Content" for Page2 and Page3 things seem to work as you want.

Beautiful!! Thanks!

Thanks! I changed the "hidden" property to "invisible" as Paul suggested and that works too. So weird...

I did somemore testing and found that the layout is getting messed up. It is actually working but not being displayed on the screen. You can force a relayout to happen and it will fix the situation.

At the end of a section you can do this command:

xfa.layout.relayout()

This will cuas ethe form to layout again and you problem goes away.
