How to remove form elements by date restriction?

[jisoo22]

Hello all,

Can anyone show me how I can remove form elements like select menus from a webpage based on a deadline date? For example, someone can choose whatever item they like from a drop-down select mention until August 21st. When August first rolls around, they are automatically removed (I would imagine using a combination of if/else statements and comment markers). I'm thinking I need to use the date/time stamp but not sure how. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

Use an if statement to see if the current date matches your hard coded date or if it's past that date and then show or hide the form elements based on that.

You will need to use the date function fount here:

Hope this helps!
