Hide htmltext placeholder text on app load

Posted on by bbpa

I'm loading data from a SharePoint list into a HTMLText field in my Power App. The default value of the htmltext field is set to the value from the list, which is working.

Is there a way to hide the placeholder text when the app loads? I am hoping to avoid the user seeing "Show your HTML text here" (with HTML in bright blue) when it initially loads prior to the html value being pulled in via the list... it's only for a second but the blue font really pulls attention

I tried making the control visibility = false when the htmltext is blank but it doesn't do the trick

@VijayTailor Thanks for the reply. I have my logic in the HtmlText to load in the data.

I had also tried adding a blank space prior to the Lookup function but it didn't avoid the placeholder

Hi @bbpa ,

Follow the below approach,
Set(HtmlTextFromSP,LookUp Congition goes here)
if(Len(HtmlTextFromSP)>1,Set visibility true else false).

This worked for me in the HTML TEXT Visible property...

If(HtmlText2.HtmlText="Show your <b><font color=blue>HTML</font></b> text here.", false, true)
