Thank you !

Sorry, but I re-open this thread.

Have you a solution to hide a field using the link plugin ?

Indeed Javascript rules, conventionally used, do not run with the plugin.

Thank you !

I think that's probably because the link element is never truly "empty", if I recall correctly it always has a JSON string representing the two parts of the element.

Checking on it now.

Yeah, it's problematic. You won't be able to use the canned event setups, you'll have to do this in the custom JS box instead. Leave the 'Event' as 'load', unset all the other menu selection, and put something like this in the custom JS box

if (JSON.encode(Fabrik.getBlock('form_17').formElements.get('fab_bands_test___video_link').getValue()) == '["","http://"]') {
  Fabrik.getBlock('form_17').formElements.get('fab_bands_test___userid').hide();
}

Change the 17's to your numeric form ID, and the two full element names to match your names.

You'll probably also want a 'change' event something like this:

if (JSON.encode(Fabrik.getBlock('form_17').formElements.get('fab_bands_test___video_link').getValue()) == '["","http://"]') {
  Fabrik.getBlock('form_17').formElements.get('fab_bands_test___userid').hide();
}
else {
  Fabrik.getBlock('form_17').formElements.get('fab_bands_test___userid').show();
}

... although you may want to tweak that code a little, and test for both parts being empty strings, like ["",""], in case you delete the default "http://".
