FormAPI - setVisible() Problem

diamondneil

When I load my DCT I wish to hide the elements of a container to the user. I have done this by using the following code:

function setReplicantVisibility( dataCaptureItemPath, visibility ) {

var replicant = IWDatacapture.getItem( dataCaptureItemPath );
var replicantArray = replicant.getChildren();
for ( var i=0; i<replicantArray.length; i++ ) {
var replicantId = i+1;
var containerRef = dataCaptureItemPath + "[" + replicantId + "]";
IWDatacapture.getItem(containerRef).setVisible(visibility);
}

}

function hideItems() {

setReplicantVisibility('/index/content/copy',false);

}

hideItems();

I call the hideItems() function, and this hides my container that i wish to initially hide from the user. This works great.

Now when the user selects something from a dropdown I wish to make the container, and its items visible. I attempt to do this using the setReplicantVisibility, but this fails to make the items in the container visible. Here is the code:

function setRegularItems() {
setReplicantVisibility('/index/content/copy',true);
}

IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler( "/index/content/pgtype", "onItemChange", setRegularItems );

Any ideas?

Where does hideItems() get called? Can you post your entire JS?
