Visual force page conditional required

Hi,

I am  trying to make a field conditionally required in visual force page as below but it is not working:

<apex:inputfield value="{!Account.NPI_vod__c}" required="{!IF(Account.Credentials_vod__c= 'DO', true, false)}" />

Please advise.

Thanks,
Krishna.

Is it working... if you are giving just plain 'true' or 'false' ?
coolkrishcoolkrish
Yes Nitesh, if we give simple true or false...it is working....

I think, I know where is the issue...try using '==' instead of '=' 
<apex:inputfield value="{!Account.NPI_vod__c}" required="{!IF(Account.Credentials_vod__c == 'DO', true, false)}" />

Let me know if it works...

Best,
Nithesh

Thanks Nitesh but still no good after "==" change....
I even used controller to make it required.....but somehow required attribute getting stuck once it is set and not resetting...
I read in one of the posts that there is an issue with the required attribute to conditionally set it.
