Re: Dynamically Show specific optional section based on values selected from dropdown list

I'd suggest not using Optional sections. Include the sections by default, and add conditional formatting to hide each section unless its drop down value is selected. For example, on Section A, your condition would be if the field bound to the drop down list does not equal "A", hide this control....

Dynamically Show specific optional section based on values selected from dropdown list

Hi,

I have dropdown list with 11 items/values (Say for example A,B,C...) & 11 different optional
sections (several controls are placed in each optional section). If user selects "A"from
the Dropdown list only optional section "A" should become visible to users & all other should
be hidden. If "B" is selected from the Drop down, only optional section "B" should be visible.

Right now for all the optional sections, I set them to "Do not include the section in the form
by default". So when the form loads all sections are hidden from users & based on what the user
selects from dropdown that particular section must be visible dynamically.

How can I do this in browser enabled infopath 2007 forms?.If possible please refer me to
a web article that answers this.

Thanks in advance

Browser Forms
