Hi,

you have to insert the a script for the form:ready event of the subform.

I created a subform containg a text field field called ARKTX and I inserted the following lines:

if ((this.resolveNode("$").ARKTX.rawValue == null || this.resolveNode("$").ARKTX.rawValue == "")) {

  this.resolveNode("$").presence = "hidden";

}

The script tests if the content of the filed ARKTX is null or an empty string. If so, the "presence" attribute of the subform is set to "hidden". Pay attention to the position of the filed ARKTX: it is inside the subform. In your case text field no.1 is out of the subform, and I think you should adapt the script. I've never do this. Check the use of "resolveNode" method.

Bye

Hello Suruchi,

Please follow the steps below.

1) First wrap the 3rd element(some static text) in an individual sub form.

2) Then wrap all these 3 main elements in a parent sub form of type flowed.

3) Now on sub form of 2nd element, write the Javascript in Initialize event as below.

if ( this.parent.text.rawvalue == " " )

{

     this.presence = "hidden";

}

4) Finally on sub form of 3rd element, write the Javascript in Initialize event as below

if ( this.parent.text.rawvalue == " " )

{

     this.presence = "hidden";

}

Note: Here text.rawvalue in Javascript is the value of 1st element which is a text field.
