rendering based on field value

Hello,

 

I am trying to render datatables based on the values of two date fields matching, or not.  Below is the code I am trying to use, but it doesn't work.  Basically if the Start Date equals the End Date I want to populate one datatable and if not I want to populate the other.

 

<apex:dataTable rendered="{!IF(Job__c.Job_Start_Date__c == Job__c.Job_End_Date__c,true,false)}" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12px" value="{!Job__c}" var="j" rowClasses="odd,even">
    
                    	<apex:column >
                        	<apex:outputtext value="{0,date,MM/dd/yyyy}">
                            	<apex:param value="{!j.Job_Start_Date__c}" />
                        	</apex:outputtext>
 -                 
                        	<apex:outputtext value="{0,date,MM/dd/yyyy}">
                            	<apex:param value="{!j.Job_End_Date__c}" />
                        	</apex:outputtext>
                    	</apex:column>
            
                	</apex:dataTable>            	
            	
                	<apex:dataTable rendered="{!IF(Job__c.Job_Start_Date__c = Job__c.Job_End_Date__c,true,false)}" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12px" value="{!Job__c}" var="j" rowClasses="odd,even">
    
                    	<apex:column >
                        	<apex:outputtext value="{0,date,MM/dd/yyyy}">
                            	<apex:param value="{!j.Job_Start_Date__c}" />
                        	</apex:outputtext>                 
                        </apex:column>
                        	
                	</apex:dataTable>

Hi,

 

you dont need two different datatables if you just want to hide one column.

try this:

<apex:dataTable style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12px" value="{!Job__c}" var="j" rowClasses="odd,even">

	<apex:column >
		<apex:outputtext value="{0,date,MM/dd/yyyy}">
			<apex:param value="{!j.Job_Start_Date__c}" />
		</apex:outputtext>
	-                 
		<apex:outputtext value="{0,date,MM/dd/yyyy}" rendered="{!(j.Job_Start_Date__c != j.Job_End_Date__c)}">
			<apex:param value="{!j.Job_End_Date__c}" />
		</apex:outputtext>
	</apex:column>

</apex:dataTable>

 Let me know if it does not helps.
