Making a field hidden or visible based on check box series

Question

Hi, How can I make a text field visible based on a check box selection ? I tried the following: if (this.getField("MyCheckBox").isBoxChecked(0))
{this.getField("TextFormFieldToBeDisplayed").display = display.visible;}
else
{this.getField("TextFormFieldToBeDisplayed").display = display.hidden;}But my check box is apart of a series .. I have 2 check boxes all called "template"and their export values are individual, and multiple. I am trying to make 1 text box visible and another one hidden if individual is selected, then reversed if multiple is selected. Thank you!

If neither is selected then I would like the text box realted in "individual" to be visible and "multiple" hidden.

I pasted this code into the custom calculate of the text boxes.

Use a separate (hidden) text field with the following code as the custom calculation script:

var v = this.getField("MyCheckBox").valueAsString;
if (v=="Off" || v=="individual") {
	this.getField("Field1").display = display.visible;
	this.getField("Field2").display = display.hidden;
} else {
	this.getField("Field1").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("Field2").display = display.visible;
}

Change the field names as needed, of course.

What about if neither one is selected? Also, where did you place this code?
