Ensuring radio buttons are selected before field is unhidden

[Lori5ED9]

HI,

I have a "Click Here To Sign" button that will allow the signature field appear if all questions are answered. However, it isn't working with my Yes/No radio buttons. It works with the dropdown & text boxes that I have. If the dropdowns and text box are filled in, it unhides the signature box. It has no effect on the radio buttons. Here is my code:

var bEmpty = false;

var oFld = this.getField("Date")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Crewmember Name")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Vessel Name")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio1")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio2")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio3")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio4")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio5")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio6")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio7")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio8")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio9")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

var oFld = this.getField("Radio10")
bEmpty |= /^\s*$/.test(oFld.value);

if(!bEmpty)
this.getField("Completed By").hidden = false;

Thank you for any help!

You must change the property "display" of the field.

HI,

Can you elaborate further? I dont't understand what I need to change exactly.

Thank you!

Change these lines:

if(!bEmpty)
this.getField("Completed By").hidden = false;

To:

this.getField("Completed By").display = bEmpty ? display.hidden : display.visible;

[Lori5ED9]

It's still allowing the signature box to unhide without any of the radio buttons being checked. I want the signature field to unhide only if all of the questions are answered.

[Bernd Alheit]

The value of a radio button will never empty. The value of a unchecked radio button is "Off".

[Lori5ED9]

So should I use checkboxes instead of radio buttons?

[Bernd Alheit]

No. You must change the script.

Thank you for responding. I will continue to do more research to figure out how to properly change the script..
