List in SharePoint - manipulate fields within a form

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:57:11 Z

Hello all,

First of all, I have created a list in SharePoint. Let's say we have a field called "Field 1" and it's a checkbox. Is there a way, where in the form you say "If Field 1 is checked, show Field 2" type of thing and then Field 2 appears and it's a text box that we want them to fill out? Otherwise, if they DO NOT check that checkbox for field 1....we don't want Field 2 to show up.

Is this possible?

Thanks!
MN

Hi,
I can suggest you the simpleset way to do it. Just use JavaScript for checkbox onclick or onchange and write your show hide logic.

for any doubt,feel free to ask.

Thanks

Thanks for all your responses.

Anup...how would I go about coding that in the list? Where do I even put the code for a field in a list.....as you can see, I'm a novice with coding in Sharepoint.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,

It depend on which form(New or Edit) you are trying to apply this logic. For every list there are tfour form associated

a. Newform.aspx

b. editform.aspx

c. dispform.aspx

d. allites.aspx

so as per your requirement just open that page in sharepoint designer and write your logic by javascript inside that page itself.
