Repeat Control Hide/Display Data Row

This seems like something very easy to accomplish...

In a repeat control I am hiding a row 'computedfield' using a variable of viewScope.put, all my fields are in the same panel. The row hides fine when I click on the link, but when I try to unhide the row after hiding it I get the error "No Element to submit with ID....".

This must be something obvious that I am doing to cause this error.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Repeat Control Hide/Display Data Row

When you hide an item server side, the item that's refreshed/hidden isn't rendered to the browser. That's the reason you get an error.

What I tend to do is to wrap the item that should be hidden with a xp:panel or xp:div. Refresh the wrapper. Then the item is hidden/shown, and the refresh can run.

If the repeat control isn't big, you could skip the wrapper, and just refresh the repeat.

Perfect!

I refreshed the repeat panel and that worked perfectly! Thanks for your help.
