How to hide/show a strip based on database entries?

Hello @saganwork , I took a look at your code and the only really wrong thing missing is the parentheses in you function call. But your code is in desperate need of a refactoring (rewriting some parts of it to make it clearer).

$w.onReady(function () {
    toggleEntry() //This is wrong in your code
})

I would do something more like this:

$w.onReady(() => {
    $w("#dbComp").onReady(() => { //You call the dataset onReady after the page is ready
        toggleEntry() //Then you call your function
 })
})

function toggleEntry() {
 let currentUser = $w("#dbComp").getCurrentItem().entered
 if (currentUser === "Yes") {
        $w("#columnStrip1").hide()
        $w("#strip2").show()
 } else {
        $w("#columnStrip1").show()
        $w("#strip2").hide()
 }
}

The last function attached to your submit button is something that I could not understand (functionally) properly. I got what it is doing, but not why.
