Grouped radio buttons - auto populate another radio button based on response

HI,

I would like to check the functionality you want to make sure I am understanding the result you need correctly.

In the form you have control questions and questions that are controlled.

CONTROL QUESTION - GENERAL PREMISE INSPECTIONS

This has the option of 'Yes' and 'N/A'.

If you select 'Yes' all questions of that section should be enabled.

If you select 'N/A' all question of that section should be disabled and controlled questions should be set to 'N/A'.

There is no 'No' Option.

CONTROLLED QUESTION - Are these inspections recorded and help on site?

This has the option of 'Yes', 'No', and 'N/A'

If you select 'Yes' nothing happens to any other field

If you select 'N/A' nothing happens

If you select 'No' nothing should happen - IS THAT CORRECT?

If the above is correct, then you need to remove the code from all the 'No' check boxes as it is not needed. The control question is the only one that requires the code to be applied.

If I have a mis-understanding, please respond with corrections and I will re-evaluate my answer.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Just a thought, do you have the code on all 'Yes' and 'No' answers of just the "GENERAL PURPOSE INSPECTIONS" question? because it only needs to be at the top level to work as you described.

If not can you upload the file so that I can take a look at the code?

Regards

Malcolm

HI,

You could create 2 functions, probably best to add them at the document level, they would need to be something like this.

[ Code slightly more verbose than it probably needs to be for clarity ]

function disableRadioButtons ( controlButton, controlledButtons)

{

    var controlBut = this.getField ( controlButton);

    if ( controlBut.value == "Choice3")

    {

        for ( var i = 0; i < controlledButtons.length; i++)

        {

            var controlledBut = this.getField ( controlledButtons);

            controlledBut.value = "Choice3";

            controlledBut.readonly = true;

        }

    }

}

function enableRadioButtons ( controlButton, controlledButtons)

{

    var controlBut = this.getField ( controlButton);

    if ( controlBut.value != "Choice3")

    {

        for ( var i = 0; i < controlledButtons.length; i++)

        {

            var controlledBut = this.getField ( controlledButtons);

            if ( controlledBut.value == "Choice3")

            {

                // only if the NA option is selected do we unselect it.

                controlledBut.value = "";

            }

            controlledBut.readonly = false;

        }

    }

}

Then from the "Mouse Up" event if the non-NA buttons, call this

enableRadioButtons ( "Group1", ["Group2", "Group3", "Group4"]);

from the NA buttons call this.

disableRadioButtons ( "Group1", ["Group2", "Group3", "Group4"]);

Each function takes 2 parameters, the first is the NA button to control the logic, the second is an array of all the names of the groups that you want to be controlled.

Hope this helps
