Form and report on a table - redirecting to report on submit

Question

Hi,
I've created a form and a report on a table...
in a form, one of the item is a radio group (with submit) with static list of values... I've set it up to submit as I am hiding/displaying other items based on the selection... for example, when user select the location value then only city and country fields are displayed and so on...
my problem is that when I make a selection it saves the state and takes me back to the report... when I come back to the report then I see items (hidden/displayed based on the selection that I made before I left the form)
any way to fix it...? please advice
Thanks

Hi,
OK - we can't use a Dynamic Action but we can use Javascript to do this.
Firstly, change the item type to an ordinary Radio button - that is, remove the Submit
Secondly, in your page attribute's HTML Header setting, add in:
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitByRadioButton()
if ($v('P1_PKITEM') != '')
  doSubmit('P1_RADIOITEM');
</script>Replace P1_PKITEM with the page item name for the hidden primary key and P1_RADIOITEM with the page item name of the radio button.
Then, on the radio button item, add the following in the HTML Form Element Attributes setting:
onclick="javascript:submitByRadioButton()"Finally, create a branch that returns to the same page - make sure that the Sequence number puts it before any Unconditional branch. Set the Condition for this to "Request = Expression 1" and enter P1_RADIOITEM (or whatever the page item name is for the radio button) into the Expression 1 setting.
Now, when the user creates a new record, the hidden P1_PKITEM value will be blank. Clicking the radio button at this time will not trigger a submit and the function checks this. For existing records, P1_PKITEM will contain a value, so the function will allow the doSubmit to run.
