Hiding objects

Problem:

have a customized web page, added an object, but want to "HIDE" the object from the user if the associated date field is Protected.

Resolution:

example:

A script to hide radio buttons if the field is read-only would go something like

this (attached to radio buttons onGenerate):

strRes=elself.getHostAttribute("protected")

if strRes == "true":

        elself.fail()
