Validation : Making a field "invisible" AND changing background color

hi,

i have 2 fields. if entered in first one, want block access field 2 , change background color. here code i'm using on exit event of first field :

if (this.rawvalue != null) {
xfa.resolvenode("form1.subform1.field2").border.fill.color.value = "192,192,192";
xfa.resolvenode("form1.subform1.field2").presence = "invisible";
}

else {
xfa.resolvenode("form1.subform1.field2").presence = "visible";
}

however, when enter in first field, second 1 becomes inaccessible, background color doesn't change.

however, if use following code (that's not making field2 invisible when entered in field1), background color indeed changes.:

if (this.rawvalue != null) {
xfa.resolvenode("form1.subform1.field2").border.fill.color.value = "192,192,192";
}

else {
xfa.resolvenode("form1.subform1.field2").presence = "visible";
}

anyone knows how can make field inaccessible , change background color?

thanks in advance,

you close... try this:

if (this.rawvalue != null) {
textfield2.border.fill.color.value = "192,192,192";
textfield2.access = "readonly";
}
else {
textfield2.border.fill.color.value = "255,255,255";
textfield2.access = "open";
}

you're making field invisible - you're not going see new background colour if can't see field. setting access "readonly" makes field inaccessible, leaves visible can see new background colour.
