Can not get onClick syntax to work correctly. Help is much appreciated.

<cfformgroup type="horizontal">
<cfformitem type="text" width="300" enabled="yes">How did you learn of our online process?</cfformitem>

      <cfselect disabled="true" visible="yes" name="newspaper" id="newspaper" multiple="no" width="250" >
               <option value="">Select one</option>
               <option value="1">option 1</option>
               <option value="2">option 2</option>
               <option value="3">option 3</option>
    </cfselect>
</cfformgroup>

     <cfselect disabled="true" visible="yes" name="JCenter" id="JCenter" multiple="no" width="250" >
          <option value="">Select one</option>
          <option value="1">option 1</option>
          <option value="2">option 2</option>
          <option value="3">option3</option>
    </cfselect>

</cfformgroup>

</cfform>

Correct answer -__cfSearching__-

onClick="document.frm1.newspaper.disabled=false"

It looks like you are using javascript. Flash forms use actionscript. It is a totally different beast.

UPDATE:

Never mind. My previous suggestion will not work because the radio fields have the same name. I am sure there are better ways.

But you could call a function onClick. One that changes the state of the select lists..

    <cfformitem type="script">
        function setListState() {
            newspaper.enabled = (lead.selectedData == 1);
            JCenter.enabled = (lead.selectedData == 2);
        }
    </cfformitem>
   <cfinput type="radio" name="lead" label="Newspaper" value="1" onClick="setListState()">

...
<cfinput type="radio" name="lead" label="Job Center" value="2" onClick="setListState()">

Is the onClick doing anything at all?

Yes, it works if you use actionscript instead of javascript.

I always use the same name for a group of radio buttons.

The selects are all different names as those are distinct. Radio buttons are part of same 'grouping'

Of course, and that makes sense. I simply meant the first technique I described would not work here, because it is designed to work with a different type of object (radiobutton versus radiobuttongroup). Anyway, take a look at the suggested alternative in my edited post.
