List page get.Value

The right syntax to get the value of a control is the following:

Try to reformulate your question. I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say:

How can I get the value of the field on the list page so that I only show the relevant fields for each form

Hi Cristian

(I hope that you are well)
I have an event that on the add and edit pages hides fields using:

$("p[id^='birth']").hide();
or shows fields using

$("p[id^='birth']").show();
I have used this instead of "linked_price_plan.hide();" because I want to hide parts of the form including <P> tags with id's etc
Anyway, this works well on the add, edit pages. But when I load the list page with the following code fails
var type = Runner.getValue(pageid, 'type');
// marriage and death certificates

if (type == "Birth Certificate" || type == "Death Certificate")

$("p[id^='birth']").show();

else

$("p[id^='birth']").hide();
I cannot get the value of Type, Type displays the value Birth Certificate or ...
If I could get the type, I could show or hide field values on the list page along with form values
Thanks in advance

Control object allows you to work with the "edit" controls not with list page.

Hi
Is their any way of getting the value of the form field in javascript?

Do you want to hide the columns on the list page?

Yes, dependant on the id of the type field. I cannot use $tx and assign false as I cannot get the data["... attribute on the before display event. If I could this may work. But I also would like to change the text of headings which is why I favoured Javascript.
Ideally I would like to get the field value in Javascript, but anything would work
Thanks

If it depends on the id of the record, you have to hide the value of the field not the column. You can set the field as Custom and set the value to an empty string.
