I’m administering a small on-premise CRM 4.0 deployment and have tried to use your scripts. I am able to get the HideTab(‘administration’) script working because of how easy it is however the latter conditional hide (primarycontactid) script is not quite what I need it to be.

I am trying to hide a tab within Opportunities based on an assigned Security Role. I was going to repurpose the latter script using the RoleID from within _MSCRM.RoleBase however my javascripting skills just aren’t up to par.

Do you have any suggestions for an OnLoad script that would accomplish that Security Role based tab hide within Opportunities? Any help would be great!

Thanks!!

This section goes into the onChange section of the Primary Contact lookup field

if (crmForm.all.primarycontactid.DataValue == null )
{
var strTabStatus = TabStatus(‘Profile’);
if ( strTabStatus == ”)
{
alert(“Primary Contact none, hiding the tab”);
HideTab(‘Profile’);
}
}
else if (crmForm.all.primarycontactid.DataValue[0].name == ‘maxjerin’)
{
alert(“Primary Contact p f, unhiding the tab”);
UnHideTab(‘Profile’);
//replace “Administration” with your tab name
}
else if (crmForm.all.primarycontactid.DataValue[0].name != ‘maxjerin’)
{
var strTabStatus = TabStatus(‘Profile’);
if (strTabStatus == ” )
{
alert(“Primary Contact other than maxjerin, Hiding the tab”);
HideTab(‘Profile’);
}
}

function HideTab (tabText)
{
var tab = FindTab(tabText);
if (tab)
{
tab.style.display = “none”;
}
}

function UnHideTab (tabText)
{
var tab = FindTab(tabText);
if (tab)
{
tab.style.display = “”;
}
}

function FindTab(tabText)
{
var tabBar = document.getElementById(“crmTabBar”);
if (tabBar)
{
var tabs = tabBar.childNodes;

for (var i = 0, len = tabs.length; i < len; i++)
{
var currentTab = tabs[i];
if (currentTab.innerText === tabText)
{
return currentTab;
}
}
}
}

function TabStatus(tabText)
{
var tabBar = document.getElementById(“crmTabBar”);
if (tabBar)
{
var tabs = tabBar.childNodes;

for (var i = 0, len = tabs.length; i < len; i++)
{
var currentTab = tabs[i];
if (currentTab.innerText === tabText)
{
if (currentTab.style.display == ‘none’)
{
alert(“tab already hidden, TAB NAME: ” + currentTab.innerText );
return “none”;
}
else
{
alert(“tab is visible, TAB NAME: ” + currentTab.innerText );
return “”;
}
}
}
}
}

tab.style.display = “”; //As simple as that

Could you also give a description on how to reverse the process, I wanted to hide/unhide based on the onChange event of a lookup field
