Radio button based on Check box - PDF acrobat

Question

I have two sets of radio button R1 and R2 and a check box......

I want to function them as below:

If R1 has two Option Yes or No so if one selects "yes" here and checks the Checkbox then the same "Yes" should be automatically selected in the R2 similarly if in R1 set "No" is selected then R2 should also be "No".

Else if check box is not selected.. both Radio buttons can be independently selected .

I tried it with the following script but it didnot worked:

if (this.getField("Checkbox").value == "Yes")

{this.getField("R2").value = this.getField("R1").value;}

Thanks in advance

You know, after going back and looking at the article, your right, it doesn't provide a direction for the solution. At least not directly.

Sorry, I missed the point of your explanation.

So your orginal code code should work, just as long as all the assumptions are correct, i.e. the radio export values are Yes and No for each button group, and the checkbox export is yes. And the code is on the MouseUp event on the checkbox.

I tried it and it all works, except with this variation, which shouldn't matter

if (event.target.value == "Yes")

{this.getField("R2").value = this.getField("R1").value;}

The thing about Radio Buttons is that a Group of buttons only has one value, so only one can be selected at a time.

What you want is a set of managed check boxes. You can make two of them look like radio buttons by changing the appearance.

Here's an article on using Checkboxes as Radio Buttons, you want a variation of this scheme
