Hi

I would like a dynamic JS function to run, based on the content of a Dynamic Field, it shows a Div in a HTML field, and hides the others.

At the moment they are all staying hidden until I click on the field that changes them.

I would like the JS to run, based on the fields value at load of page.  How to tell JS which field it is dynamically?

Thanks

Hi Craig, try going to JS function under Module Configuration / Javascript / Custom Javascript File and place it in the Initial Javascript. That way, the JS function will run on page load. See if this works for you. -- David

Hi David,

The issue is the dynamic field ID.

If I put

function test($(ShortFieldName_FieldID) {

}

will that work?? I don't think so.

I need to dynamically tell it the field ID, or hard code it in??

HI Craig, check out some of the functions under Custom Javascript file. If you place your functions there, you should be able to use a variable name. Then you call the function passing the $(ShortFieldName_FieldID) token value in the initial page load. -- David

Ok, so as suspected, the funtion doesn't appear to work.
ShortFieldName = AccountType
Mind, the JS is not erroring, so I would suspect it is using the standard $function which is document.getElementById(
??? How do I tell the function to run, and tell it the ASPX ClientID of AccountType?
------------------js extract-------------

//onload function to run
shHTML($(AccountType_FieldID));

function shHTML(varAcTypeID) {


var vC1 = $('Consumer1');
var vC2 = $('Consumer2');
var vB1 = $('Biz1');
var vB2 = $('Biz2');
var vB3 = $('Biz3');
var AcType = $(varAcTypeID);
var vP = $('Promo');


showhtml(vP.id);

//Handle Changed Account Type
switch (AcType.options[AcType.selectedIndex].value) {
case 'Consumer - Free':
showhtml(vC1.id);
hidehtml(vC2.id); hidehtml(vB1.id); hidehtml(vB2.id); hidehtml(vB3.id);
break;
case 'Consumer - Full Registered':
showhtml(vC2.id);
hidehtml(vC1.id); hidehtml(vB1.id); hidehtml(vB2.id); hidehtml(vB3.id);
break;
case 'Business - Standard':
showhtml(vB1.id);
hidehtml(vC2.id); hidehtml(vC1.id); hidehtml(vB2.id); hidehtml(vB3.id);
break;
case 'Business - Gold':
showhtml(vB2.id);
hidehtml(vC2.id); hidehtml(vB1.id); hidehtml(vC1.id); hidehtml(vB3.id);
break;
case 'Business - Platinium':
showhtml(vB3.id);
hidehtml(vC2.id); hidehtml(vB1.id); hidehtml(vB2.id); hidehtml(vC1.id);
break;
default:
break;
} //end Switch

} //end ShowHideHTML

just had a thought, that maybe you meant I could create another field, with a client event, onload, but this is not on of the available keywords for the events.

Hi Craig, at page load, what is the actual field value of AccountType? Is there a default value? Also, if you use Firefox, can you download and install Firebug to trace through the javascript code and see what value it is actually seeing, if any? -- David
