Checkbox hider

• the state of a checkbox can be used to control the visibility of other input & output fields [rev 1762+]
• to enable this control, the checkbox field needs the hider attribute set, e.g.

        ,{
            "role"       : "input"
            ,"id"         : "my_checkbox"
            ,"label"      : "My Checkbox"
            ,"type"       : "checkbox"
            ,"hider"      : "true"
        }

• dependent fields will have either the hide (hide if checked) or show (show if checked) attribute set referencing the id of the hider checkbox.
  • e.g. hide if checked

        ,{
            "role"       : "input"
            ,"id"         : "hide_me_if_checked"
            ,"label"      : "A field that hides based upon checkbox"
            ,"type"       : "float"
            ,"hide"       : "my_checkbox"
        }

• e.g. show if checked

        ,{
            "role"       : "input"
            ,"id"         : "show_me_if_checked"
            ,"label"      : "A field that shows based upon checkbox"
            ,"type"       : "text"
            ,"show"       : "my_checkbox"
        }
