Hey Waqar,

like you know you can´t give a cred form field an id= attribute.

So i just want to know how i can use a field in a form as an id for jquery.

Lets have this code example:
[php]
$("'HERESHOULD_BE_THE_POST-FIELD_OR_CUSTOM-FIELDS_SELECTOR").on("click", function(){
$(this).hide();
});
How can i address the formfields ID

cheers

Hi Steffen,

Thanks for writing back.

Your understanding is correct and the "cred_field" shortcode doesn't accept an "id" attribute.
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-shortcodes/#cred_field )

But, there are a number of ways through which you can target a specific field through jQuery:

1. You can use the class attribute, to include a special unique class to the field, e.g.

[cred_field field="post_title" class="form-control special-field-1" output="bootstrap"]

You'll be able to select that field in a jQuery script like this:

$(".special-field-1").on("click", function(){
$(this).hide();
});

OR

2. You can also add a specific "id" to the wrapper of the field that you'd like to target, e.g.:

<div class="form-group" id="special-field-1">
	<label>Title</label>
	[cred_field field="post_title" class="form-control" output="bootstrap"]
</div>

And then target it through jQuery code like this:

$("#special-field-1 input").on("click", function(){
$(this).hide();
});

I hope this helps.
