We have a multiple page form like below , each page on the form is associated with different model classes. I am trying use the value the users selected in Page 1 and based upon that value selected in Pg1 I need to show/hide the field in Page2.
Page2 has a button which allows the users add courses, when they click on the button few fields shows up in the page in foreach loop and one of the field should show/hide based on the selection made on the previous page. But the above logic throws error like Uncaught ReferenceError: Unable to process binding "visible:" below is the viewmodel
How can I have the binding work properly here and get rid of the error
It's case sensitive. Also, the foreach loop changes the binding context, so you need to do this:
<div class="form-group required" data-bind="visible: $parent.Solution() == 'Other'">
Edit- that is, if you're indeed trying to reference the Solution property from the parent viewmodel. It's not clear from your example wheter a CoursesList item also has such a property.
Just expanding on @Brother Woodrow's answer with an very basic runnable example might help with things.
function ViewModel() {
var self = this;
self.pages = [1, 2]
self.currentPage = ko.observable(1)
self.solutions = ko.observableArray(['Solution 1', 'Solutions 2', 'Other']);
self.solution = ko.observable().extend({
required: {
params: true,
message: "Required"
}
});
self.next = function() {
self.currentPage(self.currentPage() + 1);
};
self.back = function() {
self.currentPage(self.currentPage() - 1);
};
self.CourseDetails = ko.observableArray();
self.addCourse = function() {
self.CourseDetails.push(new coursesList());
}
self.pageVisible = function(page) {
return self.currentPage() == page;
}
}
function coursesList() {
var self = this;
self.otherSolution = ko.observable().extend({
required: {
params: true,
message: "Required"
}
});
}
