    How do I code conditional text?

      I have a form that needs to display Text Block 1 only if the "Total" is up to $499.99." If $500 or greater, I need to hide Text Block 1 and show Text Block 2.

       

      Is there any way I can do this?

       

      Thanks.

          Assuming your text blocks are different text objects and total is a numerice field, you can use a script in the total field calculate event.

           

          FormCalc:

          if ($ lt 500) then
    textBlock1.presence = "visible"
    textBlock2.presence = "hidden"
else
    textBlock1.presence = "hidden"
    textBlock2.presence = "visible"
endif

           

          JavaScript:

          textBlock1.presence = this.rawValue < 500 ? "visible" : "hidden"; textBlock2.presence = this.rawValue < 500 ? "hidden" : "visible ";
