Hiding fields based on input

You need to use Javascript API for this purpose:

Check 'Show dropdown list of US states if US was selected in country list' example.

Excellent. That is perfect. Thank you.

OK, so I have a dropdown at the start of the form. You can choose to be SWT or CC.
If the person chooses CC, I need to hide 1 field.
Here is the Javascript code (I think) that may work, but not sure:
// hide control

var ctrl = Runner.getControl(CandidateSWTID, 'CandidateSWT');

ctrl.hide('Proof of Student Status')
The field that has to be hidden is called 'Proof of Student Status' - not sure where to put that in the Javascript code.
However, this is an onload event, (right?) and the field needs to be hidden after they make the choice, not just when the form loads.
How would I do this?
I am also not sure how to code the if statement (if the field=cc then do this)

Mike,
you need to take a closer look at this example:

http://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/show_dropdown_list_of_us_states.htm
If you are looking for a way to show or hide one of controls based on value of another control - you have to start by creating variables for both controls.

Dear admin

How to do the same with check-box value instead of a drop down value

example if checked = show the field else hide, I tried with (this.getValue() == 'true') and (this.getValue() == '1') but no luck

Thank you James, But the code is not working

my code is pasted below..
var ctrlCountry = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'Escort_requirement');

var ctrlState = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'escort');
ctrlCountry.on('change', function(e){

if (ctrl 'Escort_requirement'.getValue()=='on'){

ctrlState.show();

}else{

ctrlState.hide();

}

});
is it fine?

Smith,
here is the correct syntax for the line:

NO LUCK,

code used

var ctrlCountry = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'Escort_requirement');

var ctrlState = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'escort');

ctrlCountry.on('change', function(e){

if (ctrlCountry.getValue()=='on'){

ctrlState.show();

}else{

ctrlState.hide();

}

});

Smith,
here is a helpful thread on how to hide fields:

Also make sure field names are correct (JavaScript is case sensitive).
