Problem using setVisible on fields that have rowcontinue attribute.. Bug??

cute_guy

Hi All,
I have a two fields inside a container as seen in the below code

 
    <container name ='urlprefix_linktext' location ='urlprefix_linktext'  min ='1' default = '0'>
  <label>Url Prefix and Link Text</label> 
  <item name ='url_prefix' pathid ='url_prefix' rowcontinue='t'>
   <label>Url Prefix</label>
   <description>Enter the Url Prefix</description>
   <text maxlength='60' size='60'/>
  </item>
  <item name ='rowspan_urlprefix_linktext' pathid ='rowspan_urlprefix_linktext' >
   <label>rowspan</label>
   <text maxlength='5' size='5'/>
  </item>

Using formapi I try to get the child items of the container and using javascript function I check for rowspan exists in the child name and when it exists in the item name, I do setVisble(true) on the child item. It throws an error.

But when I remove the rowcontinue, this setVisible works. The rowspan field is invisible in the datacapture form.

So does that mean if rowcontinue is used between two items, those items cannot be made invisble using form api?

Is this a Bug in TeamSite?

IT certainly may be a feature rather than a bug. There are cases when FormAPI cannot hide fields, one case is if that field is the first field in the form. In that case the cursor position (at the first field) overrides the hide command.

You *may* be able to put the 2 fields in a container and hide both by hiding the container.
