hiding form sections

[snowch]

I have a screen that consists of two forms, findX and listFindX.

The find section is quite large as the user needs a lot of control over
the searching.  How can I setup a link to hide/show the findX form
section?

Many thanks,

Chris

There is an example of that in the findParty.ftl file in the Party Manager
component.

You'll need to play with it a bit, and it can be done more elegantly
but here's a general idea:

<screen name="myScreen">
<section>
<condition>
<condition>
<or>
<if-compare value="Y" field-name="showFindForm" operator="equals"/>
<if-empty field-name="showFindForm"/>
</or>
</condition>

</condition>
<widget>
<link target="requestToMyScreen?showFindForm=N"/>
<include-form name="findX" location="component://locationOfMyForm"/>
<include-form name="listFindX"
location="component://locationOfMyForm"/>
</widget>
<fail-widget>
<link target="requestToMyScreen?showFindForm=Y"/>
<include-form name="listFindX"
location="component://locationOfMyForm"/>
</fail-widget>
</section>
</screen>

You may also opt to use a hidden div tag with a checkbox and some javascript
to display it on demand.

Dynamically you could control if the form is hidden or displayed by setting
the syle.
