Can we hide tabs of dcr?

ravisankar

Hi,

I created dcrs in dcr-type="xml" for having a feature of tabs.
But client need some of the tabs to be hidden, with out deleting or commenting it.
Is there such a way to hide tabs of dcr?
Please let me know.

Thanks
Ravi Sankar

The short-ish answer is: I do not believe that FormsPublisher provides the ability to hide tabs.

..at least not in any supported way. The closest you can get without a JS hack is to wrap the content of the whole tab in a container, and then hide the container when appropriate.

I didn't think you could put a tab in a container - at least not according to the DTD, and then (also according to the DTD) container's don't support the hidden sub-element, though I suppose you might be able still do that with FormAPI (haven't bothered trying)

IMHO, it is not feasible. Then again, Form API is built in JS and the DCR is rendered as an HTML. You are free to write native javascript to hide your tab using a non changing id. (You can explore options by copying all formapi js files into a javascript eclipse project and play around...)

I said wrap the content of the whole tab container.. meaning a container would be the immediate child of the tab element. Then when you hide that (with FormAPI), the tab is still there but it'll be completely empty. Close enough I say.

Ah - I missed the semantics.

Yes this is a valid scenario. But the tab will still be visible right?

That's correct, there is no supported way to hide a tab. The only supported way of not having it there is to remove it from your DCT.
