          Where "foo" is the name of the field that may be hidden, add the following to the custom Format script of the field that may or may not have a value.



          if (event.target.value == "") {
          this.getField("foo").display = display.hidden;
          }
          else {
          this.getField("foo").display = display.visible;
          }
