Showingorhidingatextselection
Whenyouright-clickonanelementandmakeitconditional,theelementasawholewillbemadecon-
ditional.Thishappensevenwhenyouselectafewwordsinaparagraphandright-clickthosewords;
theparagraphasawholewillbemadeconditional.
Itis,however,possibletoshoworhideapartofaparagraph.
Ifthetextthatyouwanttoshoworhideisshort,youcouldusetheSelector and Textoptioninthe
ConditionalContentwizardandcopythetextintotheTextfield.Thisoptionusesthespecifiedselector
asatriggerforthescript.Thescriptappliestoallinstancesofthetextfoundwithinthespecified
selector.
Searchingfortextcanbealengthyoperation,comparedtosearchingforanelementwithanID.Ifper-
formanceisanissue,ofifthesearchtextislong,abetteralternativeistowrapthetextinaspanele-
mentfirst.
1. Selectthepartofthetextthatyouwanttomakeconditional.
2. Right-clicktheselectedtextandclickWrap in span.
3. TypeanIDand/oraclass.AnIDisfineifthisistheonlythingthatshouldbeshownorhiddenon
agivencondition.Useaclassifthereismorethatshouldbeshownorhiddenonthesamecon-
dition.
4. StartcreatingaconditionalcontentscriptfromtheScriptspane.UsetheIDorclassasthe
