use mktoBoolean in if statement

**disclaimer: I can't find any docs on this but as usual, if it exists I would be delighted to get the location.**

Hi,

I am trying to get a mktoBoolean to be a trigger in a if statement but I can't get it to work.. see code below, any ideas?

<meta class="mktoBoolean" id="show_sidebar" mktoName="Show sidebar?" default="true" true_value="block" false_value="none" false_value_name="Hide" true_value_name="Show">

<script>

    if (show_sidebar === false) {

          document.getElementById(main-content-id).style.width=100%;

        } else {}

</script>

kundly, jonas.

Re: use mktoBoolean in if statement

Has nothing to do with XHR cross-domain security.

The problem is actually quite basic. This is not a valid style assignment:

// broken, you can't assign CSS text here
document.getElementById('main-content-id').style.width = '100% !important';

That line is valid JavaScript, but it doesn't actually do anything. You can't simply assign the CSS text '100% !important' as if it's the value of the width property.  It's actually two values, one being the '100%' and the other being the special reserved priority attribute (whose only allowed value is the string 'important').

To set !important in script, use setProperty, which includes the priority:

document.getElementById('main-content-id').style.setProperty('width','100%','important')

Re: use mktoBoolean in if statement

Hi Jonas,

<meta class="mktoBoolean" id="show_sidebar" mktoName="Show sidebar?" default="true" true_value="SHOW" false_value="HIDE" false_value_name="Hide" true_value_name="Show">

<script>

    if ('${show_sidebar}' == 'SHOW') {

          document.getElementById(main-content-id).style.width=100%;

        } else {}

</script>

Re: use mktoBoolean in if statement

I need to have the value as "none" because I am using it in css as well in a "display:" tag.. so the meta code would need to look like below. I believe, did try your suggestion without result.. it seems there is something wrong with the if statement because the boolean works and sets "display: none;" so the sidebar disappears but the width of "main-content-id" remains the same...

below is the latest code I tried..

<meta class="mktoBoolean" id="show_sidebar" mktoName="Show sidebar?" default="true" true_value="block" false_value="none" false_value_name="Hide" true_value_name="Show">

<script>

    if ('${show_sidebar}' == 'none') {

          document.getElementById(main-content-id).style.width=100%;

        } else {}

</script>

Re: use mktoBoolean in if statement

HI Jonas,

In the resulting LP, looking at page code, the script should show as follow:

<script>

    if ('none' == 'none') {

          document.getElementById(main-content-id).style.width=100%;

        } else {}

</script>

or

<script>

    if ('block' == 'none') {

          document.getElementById(main-content-id).style.width=100%;

        } else {}

</script>

Depending of the choice you made.

Pls provide the URL of the LP.

The error might be in the statement

document.getElementById(main-content-id).style.width=100%;

and more specifically with the main-content-id identifier.

Re: use mktoBoolean in if statement

Hi Jonas,

Does main-content-id really correspond to an ID ? What does it contain ?

Run it in debug or send the URL.

Re: use mktoBoolean in if statement

PS: is main-content-id is the ID, then you should write it

if ('none' == 'none') {

          document.getElementById("main-content-id").style.width=100%;

        } else {}

Re: use mktoBoolean in if statement

sorry..

http://pages.postnord.com/99-allmnna-test-av-mail_redone-jl.html

I know the id #main-content-id is working because the responsive tags are working. And the sidebar is set to "display: block" and "display: none" using the boolean while setting up the LP...

using this: JSHint, a JavaScript Code Quality Tool says there is nothing wrong with this below but still not working..

if ('${show_sidebar}' == 'none') {

          document.getElementById("main-content-id").style.width = "100%";

} else {}

Try

if ('${show_sidebar}' == 'none') {

          document.getElementById("main-content-id").style.width = "100% !important";

} else {}

Re: use mktoBoolean in if statement

Hi Jonas,

your code is wrong. It reads

'none' == none)

instead of

'none' == 'none'
