You are so right and I was so blind! I miss working in an office with more developers! Thanks a million!

Thanks again Bruce. That was indeed the only way I found to keep hidden objects visible in the Design View.

Hello Everyone,I am working on complex form that will require a lot of show/hide fields based on user input. I am trying to automate the behavior with a JavaScript function placed at the parent form level. In fact I already have a couple functions there and they work great. The one below is a myster...

Thank Bruce. It works great now! I want to be able to see the fields in Design view so I am fine leaving the action at the docReady event.

I was able to achieve that with the script below except that all validation is triggered for that subform at th...

So now the script is:if (comparativeBids.presence == "visible") {    this.mandatory = "error";    this.mandatoryMessage = "Please enter a vendor name on line 1 of the Comparativ...
