Show field without data

PHPMaker General Discussion (PHPMaker)

On an edit page there is the caption and then the field with Data.

If the field has no data, instead of nothing, the caption is listed.

I want to edit that item, but I don’t know what that is called, and where to edit it or turn it off.

I’d like to either make it very faint, have it show nothing at all, or have an alternate text.
Is that editable and where would I do that?

When there is no data, It shows the caption in the field and it’s hard to tell if data is missing.

Thanks!

You can use the Row_Rendered server event to set a different background color if the field is empty. See the example in help file topic “Server Events and Client Scripts”.

I’d rather make it disappear by making the font the same as the background.

How to do that?

You may set the CSS classname or CSS styles by Row_Rendered server event, see the example under Server Events and Client Scripts → Row_Rendered in the help file.

Ok, I’m not very proficient with CSS, can you explain any further?
