Show and hide a region based content in field of CMS

If I have a PowerCMS editable region on a page, can I show or hide it and other regions based on content entered? For Example, if the admin entered any word other than 'hide', I want it to show, if the admin does enter 'hide' I want it to disappear!

For example:

?php show if field_content is not equal to 'hide' { ?
<label for="coast">
<input type="checkbox" name="coast" id="coast">&nbsp;<?php echo WA_getCMSContent($database_PowerCMSConnection, $PowerCMSConnection, 'inc-newsletter', 'coast'); ?>
</label>
?php } ?

Is this possible, and if so, how do I write the show if code? The recordset for it doesn't exist in the page due to PowerCMS not creating a recordset on the page the same way as DataAssist does?

Thanks.

I've actually approached this in a different way than I have enquired about, but it would be useful to know if one can show or hide a specific field still.

Anyway, I now have an issue with the way I have approached it. I've decided to make a new table with the text in a single record using multiple fields so that the info is updated easily using an update and detail page created by DataAssist.

My new issue is that I have got a newsletter sign up page which shows or hides particular regions. These regions are three checkboxes which can be hidden or shown independently. If a checkbox is hidden, then it submits a value of 1 regardless of the fact I've replaced it with a hidden field with a value of 0.

So to clarify, if I am hiding one of the checkboxes then I am ensuring that I am presenting the insert script with an alternative hidden field with the same name and ID but it has a value of 0, but it's entering into the DB as a 1. I can't figure out why. I've done this kind of if/else procedure so many times successfully, but I just can't figure out what's going wrong this time.

What's happening is:

- boxes visible and checked enter 1 in the DB -- this is OK
- boxes visible and UNchecked enter 0 in the DB -- this is OK
- boxes replaced with a hidden field with a value of 0 enter 1 -- this is wrong

I've attached the code.

Thanks.

It is because you have it set up to submit as type checkbox. What is hidden or visible really shouldn't matter. I'd add a value to checkbox itself and delete the hidden elements and that should fix it.
