Hi everyone,

I want to display an element of my banner only when I'm on a specific view.

I know I need to script the visibility of my element with an “if”, but I can't get it to work.

MY CODE:

currentView = self.view.params.viewPath

if currentView == "Ignition 101/Feature Views/Solutions/SYNO":  
{this.meta.visible} = true;

else:  
{this.meta.visible} = false;

Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm guessing it's perspective ?

Don't use a script. Use an expression binding on either the `props.display` or `meta.visible` property of your element. Something like this:

```python
{page.props.primaryView} = "Ignition 101/Feature Views/Solutions/SYNO"

```

edit:  
example with a label in my menu.  
Binding on the label's `position.display`:

Welcome to the forum, Thomas. Please have a read of [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831).

You should also add the `vision` or `perspective` tag to your question title.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply Pascal!

It now works correctly.

(Sorry for posting the code this way, I wasn't aware of it)
