I'm working on the customization of the DispForm and I need to check if the "Enhanced Rich Text" field is empty -> hide, if not empty -> show (column in the DispForm).

I don't have a problem with hiding the field, but I'm struggling with IF statement(to check if the enhanced rich text field is empty or not). Below IF statement works perfectly for the NewForm and the EditForm, but not for DispForm.


$(document).ready(function(){
    if($(".ms-rtestate-field[id^='EnhancedRichTextField']")[0].innerHTML=="

"){ $("td.ms-formlabel:contains('EnhancedRichTextField')").parent().hide(); }else{ $("td.ms-formlabel:contains('EnhancedRichTextField')").parent().show(); } $("td.ms-formlabel:contains('HideCalculatedField1')").parent().hide(); $("td.ms-formlabel:contains('HideCalculatedField2')").parent().hide(); $("td.ms-formlabel:contains('HideCalculatedField3')").parent().hide(); $("td.ms-formlabel:contains('HideCalculatedField4')").parent().hide(); });

Any idea? I also tried: if($("td.ms-formbody[id^='SPFieldNote']").val()=="")

Many thanks!

  • Can you inspect the enhanced rich text box by clicking on it and selecting inspect element and share the screenshot of the html of that rich text? Commented Oct 31, 2018 at 19:21
  • if field is empty html looks like this: <tr><td nowrap="true" valign="top" width="113px" class="ms-formlabel"><h3 class="ms-standardheader"><a name="SPBookmark_EnhancedRichTextField"></a>EnhancedRichTextField</h3></td> <td valign="top" class="ms-formbody" width="350px" id="SPFieldNote"> <!-- FieldName="EnhancedRichTextField" FieldInternalName="EnhancedRichTextField" FieldType="SPFieldNote" --> </td> </tr>

  • This is not the complete html of the rich text field. The field should be an editable div element. Commented Nov 2, 2018 at 9:53
  • There should be a div ending with "$TextField_inplacerte" Commented Nov 2, 2018 at 9:54

IF statement -> check if Enhanced Rich Text field on DispForm is empty -> hide, else -> show


$(document).ready(function(){
  var textField =  $('td.ms-formlabel:contains("EnhancedRichTextField")').siblings(".ms-formbody").text().trim();  
  if(textField.length==0){
        $("td.ms-formlabel:contains('EnhancedRichTextField')").parent().hide();
  }else{
        $("td.ms-formlabel:contains('EnhancedRichTextField')").parent().show();
       }
});

Here is the javascript solution to hide the td.

document.querySelectorAll('td[id=SPFieldNote]').forEach(function(element){
    var fieldTitleElement = element.previousElementSibling;
    if(fieldTitleElement.innerText.indexOf("EnhancedRichTextField") > -1){
        if(!element.innerText.trim()){
            element.style.display = "none";
        }
    }
});

If you want to hide the whole row (), then you just need to add .parrent to the element while hiding (shown below).

document.querySelectorAll('td[id=SPFieldNote]').forEach(function(element){
    var fieldTitleElement = element.previousElementSibling;
    if(fieldTitleElement.innerText.indexOf("EnhancedRichTextField") > -1){
        if(!element.innerText.trim()){
            element.style.display = "none";
        }
    }
});
