Hi there,

I need to get some javascript that will allow me to check that two form field names set to visible before setting the visiblility of the third.

if(this.getField("Form Field Name").display == display.visible) && (this.getField("Form Field Name 2").display == display.visible) {

this.getField("Form field name 3").display = display.visible;

}

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

That code looks good, except that it is missing some parentheses. Did you check the console window? It would have reported a syntax error.

Under what circumstances do you want this to happen?

Here's the correct code:

if((this.getField("Form Field Name").display == display.visible) && (this.getField("Form Field Name 2").display == display.visible)) {
     this.getField("Form field name 3").display = display.visible;
}
