Initialize Group as Hidden on Secondary Page (Navigated to from Main View)

Mark_Siple

I have an application in Vignette Portal Builder that has amain page, and a button at the bottom that will navigate to secondary pages,based on a field value in the main page.

 

I have a requirement to hide some of the form groups whenthe pages are opened, then optionally reveal them based on a field value.

 

I can initialize the group on the main form page to be hiddenwith a function that runs when the first page loads:

 

function initializealtrebate (xeform){

      document.getElementById("ID-EvaporateCoolingRebateEntry-AlternateRebateRecipient-group").style.display="none";

 }

 

window.onload =initializealtrebate

 

However, I can’t get a similar function to run on thesecond page.

 

Is there a way to run a function when the second pageloads?  Or, alternatively, is there another way to initialize a group as hidden(e.g. using an attribute)?

Hi Mark - If you don't want to go down the JavaScript/CSS route, Builder actually has some built in functionality so that you can create layers in a group and then assign conditions to show or hide a given layer.  Any field or variable in your Data Model can be used as a parameter for your condition.  It's a pretty cool feature that few people know about.  Feel free to shoot me an email and I'd be happy to walk you through the steps.
