Variable impact on WAD objects

Question

I have a Web Application Designer template containing two Analysis objets, ANALYSIS_1 and ANALYSIS_2. When running the template the user is prompted to select a variable value. If the user selects value u201CXu201D, then ANALYSIS_1 should be visible and ANALYSIS_2 should be hidden. If the user selects value u201CYu201D ANALYSIS_2 should be visible and ANALYSIS_1 should be hidden.
Is this possible, and how is it done?
Thanks,
Sofie

Answer 1

Thanks,
I did like you suggested, and the items are shown as the should. The problem is that my main template (with the script and the hidden/visible items) are re-loading over and over again. Did I put my script at the wrong place in the XHTML-code?
