Hide Text Field on Form

I have HTML Text on my form, and I want to have it show only if certain conditions are met (checkbox is checked). Since its not a field on my table, rather just an HTML text on my form- in dynamic form rules this field (field 0) isnt listed as an option to do anything with. Is there a better way to do this?
  What this field i'm trying to hide is, is an image coming from our website.

  • The Ricvh text formula would be just that same string,  but in quotes

    "<img src=https://www.kbuildings.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Loft-Sketch-8-26.jpg>"

    if you want to control the Height it would be

    "<img src=https://www.kbuildings.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Loft-Sketch-8-26.jpg height=100>" 

     or you can also specify the width like

    width=100

  • You would either need to turn the image text element into a formula field or else put the form element in a section all by itself and show/hide the section.

      Per Mark, I typically convert them to formula fields so I have a lot more control over how and when they display without adding more section-lines on my form which can look to the user like they are not seeing something.

        Use a rich text field?

        And do this.

        (<img src="website.com"<a/> )

         

        That's not what you mean I assume? I'm sorry- I don't know what formula you mean.

         

        Thank you,

        You could also potentially do this with JavaScript if you have the skillset.
