How hide/show Groups using JS?

[F.schettino]

I need hide/show Groups depending on situations.

I know how hide/show an element

Fabrik.getBlock('form_x').elements.get('table___element').hide();​

How to hide/show a Group?

Thanks in advance.

You can use element javascript settings. It affects also groups if you need so. Depending on this element value some other element or group could be shown or hidden

Thanks for your interest, Jaanus.

I know how refer to an element; for example:
Fabrik.getBlock('form_x').elements.get('table___element').hide();
but I don't know how refer to a Group.
Can you write an example of the statement?


Please, help me also regarding

It is a similar question: how refer to a validation icon? I don't know how write the statement.

Thank you in advance.

If you go to Fabrik -> Elements -> Javascript.

You are able to use the predefined setup to display or hide a group or element depending on the value placed in that element.

Works quite well.

Ok, mamies, I know, but I cannot use "predefined actions"; I have to write my code (as I explained).

You don't need any special fabrik magic to hide and show groups (or elements, come to that). Just use standard J! selectors. Inspect your page source to find out the ID of the container for the group, which will usually be a fieldset with an id like groupXX, where XX is the numeric group ID, and do ...

document.id('group123').hide();

... or show().

The only reason we typically advise people to get element objects from the Fabrik block is they usually need to do "other stuff" to the Fabrik object(s). But for simple hide/show, you just operate on the DOM element directly.

Thank you very much, cheesegrits!
I am sorry, but I didn't know php and JavaScript; now I am able to code what I need, but until now I don't know html and css.

Please, please, please, cheesegrits, write also an example also regarding a similar question: how use JavaScript to hide/show a validation icon? (http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.ph...ation-icon-using-validation-conditions.40827/)

Unfortunatly, validation icons are always displayed, even if conditional validation would give false.

Sorry to be so crassly commercial, but the plummeting Euro / US$ exchange rate is killing me, as we bill in Euro's but I live in the US. So where I used to be able to spend at least a little time answering Community issues, I've taken about a 30% pay cut in the last few months ... so I'm having to encourage more Community folk to chip in with at least a Standard sub if they need support.
