Disable Submit button if Field value is not 0.0

Goal: Hide the submit button until value of Field46 = 0.0

Field46 gets its value from the SUM of two other fields. If Field46 is not 0.0, I want the user to modify one of the values in the other field until Field46 changes to 0.0

This is working.

What I cannot get working, is for the submit button to appear after the above has occurred. I struggle to follow the logic of code, but I am trying. I copied and slightly modified the following that I found during my research and was hoping someone could direct me as to finish the process.

I am guessing that perhaps the code needs to run again on some function of the page, but I am unsure.

$(document).ready(function() {

//cache the elements we will use
var $submit = $('.Submit');
var $Field46 = $('#Field46');

//hide the submit button
$submit.hide();

//bind event handler to the field
$Field46.change(function() {

//if the user selects what we want, show the submit button
if ($Field46.find(':selected').val() === "0.0"){

$submit.show();
}
//if not, hide it
else {

$submit.hide();
}
});
});

Hey, I recognize that code.

The reason it's not working for you in this case is because I originally wrote it to check the value of a radio button. From the sounds of it, you're working with a single line or currency field. Try this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var $submit = $('.Submit');
    $submit.hide();
    $("#Field46").on("change", function() {
        if ($(this).val() == "0.0"){
            $submit.show();
        } else {
            $submit.hide();
        }
    });
});

Thank you very much for both instances of supplying that code. I am learning, but, because of volunteers like yourself who share and assist ones like me, I was able to keep going without being stonewalled on that relatively smaller part of my project!

Hi,

I'm trying to do something similar but can't get it to work. I want it to evaluate two fields, if they total the same amount them show the Submit button. It is hiding the Submit button but I can get it to appear again. Can you help

$(document).ready(function(){
var $submit = $('.Submit');
var $Field1 = $('.GROSSAMOUNT');
var $Field2 = $('.GLAMOUNT')

$submit.hide();

$('.GLAMOUNT').on('input', 'blur', function() {
if ($Field1.find('.GROSSAMOUNT input').val() == $Field2.find('.GLAMOUNT input').val()){
$submit.show();
} else {
$submit.hide();
}

}); });

I am trying to do something very similar to the original question here. Only instead of a number value, I am trying to hide the Submit button when a text field (single line) is filled in with a specific value from a look-up table value (in my case, the character string "Expired"). This happens when the user enters a number at the top of the form (and other fields are subsequently populated). Do I need to modify the code in the first reply a certain way because the value is populated by a look-up? Any help appreciated!

my case is actually the opposite... can someone verify if this would work accurately?

$(document).ready(function() {
    var $submit = $('.Submit');
    $submit.show();
    $("#q35").on("change", function() {
        if ($(this).val() = "0"){
            $submit.hide();
        } else {
            $submit.show();
        }
    });
});
