V6 Help with Hide / Show

v6
Trying to get this functionality working.
Easiest to explain with pic.
​
Dropdown values
=
y=Yes
n=No

The target text box, text3, is set to hide on load and to show when selecting yes under select2.
But does not show, stays hidden.
​
Can u see what's wrong here?
Thanks

Get rid of the X in your Load State field. CF hides fields using the hidden class, not the hidden boolean.
​
Either the events as you have them set should make it hidden on load, or you can add hidden to the field class under advanced.

Thanks healyhatman.

Cant see how to use an event to make it hidden on load.
For the class approach I just typed hidden in the extra attributes box, no period prefix. Correct?
Kinda working. The hidden class hides the text box but the text box label still shows. And choosing yes in select2 does not show text3.

Go back to how it was then but get rid of the # in your element identifier in the dropdown event

No same story. Text box is hidden but label shows and selecting yes in the txt box has no effect. Also tried "" around the Yes, and tried y because they are strings but no go.
​

Is Yes the VALUE or the LABEL of your selection.

In V5 this is how you hide an element and its label on load (parent hidden), and how you hide show elements based on selection of another element. Dont see same functionality in V6.

Just have a look at the "Field events" demo form.

Well that's odd because the functionality does not work in their demo - not on my PC anyway. Both Choose Computer OS and Choose Mobile OS are visible when I hit Preview. There must be an OnLoad function, or similar, that needs setting. I put hidden like u suggested in the Extra Attributes box under Advanced and that did not help. Why didn't they keep the conditional field functionality that worked in V5. Not everything has to be changed on an upgrade. Quite frustrating.

Well then you might want to check your javascript console for errors because the demo works perfectly for me.

Also I never suggested that you put anything in Extra Attributes.

OK, will do
A few posts back you suggested a hidden field class under advanced - where / how do I do that ?

Don't worry about it, don't put hidden anywhere. If you set your field events up correctly they should be checked on load.
​
But if the demo form isn't working then something's wrong on your site.

hmm, in Firefox console get Empty string passed to getElementById(). Tried other browsers too.

Try to reinstall CF or something, it should be working. Got any SEO / SEF plugins running? jQuery Easy or anything like that?

I need to back track - time constraints.
Have a working Joomla reg form in V5, conditional fields working etc. But I understand now that I set it up incorrectly, all the additional user fields are in the Users table. So I was originally trying to correct that situation -http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/posts/t106537/custom-user-fields?keywords=custom%20user%20fields.
Then thought, well if cant get that working will try V6. Like a Bok line attack from the left, then the right, pass back, kick forward ... but the defense is solid man.
So I'm going to stay with fixing my V5 form. Thanks for trying to help, appreciate it.
