PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 6.7 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: August 10, 2001

There are times when you may want to hide or display a button. For example, in an add record session you may want to hide the delete button on an input form.

You can hide or display the delete button on an HTML page with the use of the <!--4DHTMLVAR--> tag.

For example:


The HTML page (Add_Record.html)


<HTML>

    <BODY>

    <FORM ACTION="4DACTION/WEB_AcceptAddRecord" METHOD=POST>

     ...rest of html form goes here...


      <!--4DHTMLVAR Delete_Button-->


    </FORM>


  </BODY>

</HTML>

==========================================

The 4D Method (Show_Hide_Button)


If (condition)


 Delete_Button:="<INPUT TYPE=Submit name=Button1 Value=Delete>" `if the condition is true the button is shown


Else


  Delete_Button:="" `if the condition is false, the delete button is hidden

End if

SEND HTML FILE("Add_Record.html")
