Something Probably Simple I am asking.

[rawdevelopment]

In the code below I am returning information in a table format while also returning a graphic resource for many products. The code will somewhat the same for 40+ products in a text field. The graphic lines up with each following graphic according to the text lines returned.

Is there a way to return blank lines of text to maintain positioning according to the graphic based on lets say 5 line items but only 2 are selected.

 

if (Field("MepilexAg") == "Yes, with Facility Order Numbers")

return '<p style="(no style)" quad="L" leading="-775" rindent="0" leadbefore="0" leadafter="0" widows="2" kerning="true" hyphenate="false" skipifempty="false" skipifemptyvar="false" noparabreakoncopyfit="false">' + '<f name="MHC Din Regular">'

Assuming you're trying to return a blank line for instances when your rules (i.e. "Rule("RuleMepAG287100")") return a null value, this might help you:

 

var 100 = (Rule("RuleMepAG287100") != "") ? Rule("RuleMepAG287100") : " ";
var 200 = (Rule("RuleMepAG287200") != "") ? Rule("RuleMepAG287200") : " ";
var 300 = (Rule("RuleMepAG287300") != "") ? Rule("RuleMepAG287300") : " ";
var 400 = (Rule("RuleMepAG287400") != "") ? Rule("RuleMepAG287400") : " ";
var 500 = (Rule("RuleMepAG287500") != "") ? Rule("RuleMepAG287500") : " ";

if (Field("MepilexAg") == "Yes, with Facility Order Numbers")
return '<p style="(no style)" quad="L" leading="-775" rindent="0" leadbefore="0" leadafter="0" widows="2" kerning="true" hyphenate="false" skipifempty="false" skipifemptyvar="false" noparabreakoncopyfit="false">' + '<f name="MHC Din Regular">'

100 + 
200 +
300 +
400 +
500 +
'</table>';

else
return '<p style="(no style)" quad="L" leading="-775" rindent="0" leadbefore="0" leadafter="0" widows="2" kerning="true" hyphenate="false" skipifempty="false" skipifemptyvar="false" noparabreakoncopyfit="false">' + '<f name="MHC Din Regular">'

'</table>';

The blank record would need to return after the last record so if record/row 3 is set to "No" not to return then record/row 4 and 5 will move up in the table while the table still maintaining the 5 rows with the last one being empty.
