Hiding virtual cascading dropdowns in web form

[mdupras]

Hi all --

This seems like it should be simple, but I'm struggling with it. I have a web form in which the user chooses items from certain dropdown menus that cascade to other dropdown menus, which I want to hide or disable. The selection they make puts one value in one field with the main dropdown and a connected value in another field from the cascaded dropdown. I want to hide or disable the virtual cascaded dropdowns because the user doesn't need to see that information. Here's the code I'm using but isn't working:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

var fieldName = "cbParamVirtual2";

function hideThem () {
document.getElementsByName(fieldName).disabled = true;
}

onload = hideThem;

</SCRIPT>

Any one have an idea?

Thanks!

Hi,

Replace the line

document.getElementsByName(fieldName).disabled = true;

with

document.getElementsByName(fieldName)[0].disabled = true;

Best,

As for hiding or disabling fields, you may now try Caspio's new feature 'Conditional Forms'. To better understand it, you can check this article: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/forms/conditional-forms/

I hope this helps!
