2 sets of Radio Buttons in a Form-complications

Hello everyone,
I have been looking around for code to assist me in building a form. I have developed the form, and just have a couple problems that I can't figure out.
In one question on the form the user can choose from one set of radio buttons and select one of the five options. Then I have a second set of radio buttons, that the user can again only choose one option. My problem is that I only want the user to be able to select from the second set of radio buttons if they selected a certain option in the first set. An example to clear up my problem:
Did you finish the training:
Yes
Half
None
So if the user selected yes from the first set of radio buttons, I want the second set of radio buttons to now be selectable:
The training was:
Up-beat and enjoyable
Snoozer
The conditions that I am using are very different than these but this is just a simple skit. So how do I make the second set of radio buttons unselectable until the user selects a specific radio button from the first set of radio buttons.
Thanks, I really appreciate the help!

If you have a radio button exclusion group called 'completion' with three items 'Yes','Half', and 'None' and a second radio button exclusion group called 'completion', go to the 'feedback' Value tab and set the type to 'readOnly'.
Add the following script to the 'completion' change event...
// form1.page1.subform1.completion::change - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "Yes") {
form1.page1.subform1.feedback.access = "";
else {
form1.page1.subform1.feedback.access = "readOnly";
form1.page1.subform1.feedback.rawValue = "";
If the user selects 'Yes', the 'feedback' group is available for selection. If the user does not select 'Yes', 'feedback' is reset and made readOnly.

Using a dropdown to set a radio button

I've been searching and searching in vain, trying many different things can I cannot seem to find an answer already or stumble on similar code to help.
I've got a dropdown, then when you select different values set different fields on the form. That part works fine stuff like this in the custom validate:
if (event.value == "Thing1") {
this.getField("DESC01").value = "Words that fill in a desciption box.";
this.getField("DESC02").value = "More words that fill in another descrption box";
this.getField("F_SKILL1").value = "1";
this.getField("RB_SKILL1").isBoxChecked(1);
this.getField("F_SKILL2").value = "1";
this.getField("F_SKILL3").value = "1";
} else if (event.value == "Thing2") {
this.getField("DESC01").value = "Different words that fill in a desciption box.";
this.getField("DESC02").value = "More different words that fill in another descrption box";
this.getField("F_SKILL4").value = "1";
this.getField("RB_SKILL1").isBoxChecked(0);
this.getField("F_SKILL5").value = "1";
this.getField("F_SKILL6").value = "1";
etc, etc. I've got a few different else ifs but they all follow this kind of format. There is are also radio button next to the skills on the sheet to visually display that skill is known. So I'd like to turn that radio button on. My isBoxChecked isn't working, and I expect that's because it doesn't work that way. I have a lot of radio buttons on the form, but they all have 1 choice in them none are groups. Again, I'm using this as a visual display that SKILLX is known. The area I've dropped the radio button onto the sheet is a very small circle which is why I am trying to use a radio button as it's visually similar.
If there is a better solution to what I'm trying to do I'm happy to try that, or if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong that'd be super
Thanks!

Not quite sure I'm getting what you are laying down...
So in the dropbox, under options I should set the export value of Thing1 choice to RB_SKILL1 and then in my validate I should include this.getField("RB_SKILL1").value = 'Yes' ?
Or I should just set the export value of Thing1 to this.getField?
Thanks
Oh, using a check box I was able to get this working using the export values set for Thing1 option, most excellent! Thank you very much!

Sets of Radio buttons all grouped together

I am creating a form with many sets of radio buttons. Each set contains 3 buttons. When I add the 4th button, Designer groups it with the first three. When I add a 5th button, it is automatically grouped with the first 4. I need to separate the buttons into groups of 3. How do I manually choose which radio buttons to group together?
Eric

Doing this is little tricky... Add all your radio buttons and then choose all the ones you want to group in a different set holding Ctrl key. And then click your mouse button (right). Then choose 'Wrap in New Radio Button Group'.
Good luck,

Set of Radio Buttons in a page

Hi,
I am new to OAF. My use case is to create a page with set of 'Yes/No' questionnaires. So, there will be set of radio buttons associated with each questions.

Creating radio buttons in XML Forms Builder

Hi everyone,
I can't seem to find any instructions on how to create Radio Buttons in XML Forms builder, anyone has a link or instruction on how to?
Thanks,
Samer

Hi Samer,
So taking the example for the slides, you need first to create a new child under DataModel for the DataSchema. You can name it "Gender".
Click on the Radio Button in the Toolbar and drag "Gender" from the left hand site into the Edit Form.
It should have already a first radio button and in the box on the bottum right you should see the reference in the Schema Reference field (/DataShema/DataModel/Gender).
You can now drag a second button from the toolbar and place it behind the first one. Make sure you add the same value in the Schema Reference field.
On the Show form or RenderListItem you need a Control Selector as mentioned on slide 18. You can just use right mouse click -> Add. Go on the new item on the right hand side, and click on "Add Multiple Labels". You can choose now how many radio buttons you have, here 2.
In our example enter in one Label "Condition" = "true" and "Label" = "Male" and in the other "Condition" = "false" and "Label" = "Female".
Finally, make sure that the Control Selector has the Schema Reference also as defined above (/DataShema/DataModel/Gender).
Hope this helps,
Robert

Disable a set of radio buttons

Hello Experts,
I have written a code in which there are two set of radio buttons.
In first set there are three radio buttons.
p_range    RADIOBUTTON GROUP rbg DEFAULT 'X',
p_date      RADIOBUTTON GROUP rbg,
p_comp     RADIOBUTTON GROUP rbg.
In second set there are 10 radio buttons.
I need to write a code in a way that if user selects the third radio button from first set p_comp, then few of the radio buttons from the second set should grey out.
Please help me with some sample code.
Would definately reward if the code is useful.

Alternatively you can also use MODIF ID's for the radio buttons to do the same.
You can get the syntax on the F1 help...
Cheers,
Tatvagna.
Eg.
p_1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 DEFAULT 'X' modif id r1,
p_2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 modif id r1,
p_3 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 modif id r1,
p_4 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 modif id r3,
p_5 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 modif id r1,
p_6 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 modif id r1,
p_7 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 modif id r2,
p_8 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 modif id r2,
p_9 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 modif id r2,
p_10 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rb2 modif id r1.
And then do
Loop at screen.
       IF screen-group1 IS NOT INITIAL AND
        NOT screen-group1 EQ 'R1' .
          screen-active = '0'.
          MODIFY SCREEN.
       ENDIF.
endloop.

How can I set a radio button to a be checked using an action script?

Acobat X: I have two radio buttons called EnrollmentType with different values. "New Student" and "Returning Student". I need to set 160 forms to returning student, Please
will this work?
getField("EnrollmentType").value = "Returning Student"

This is Adobe X Pro:
Ok when I click the properties of the radio button. Both have the same
"Enrollment type".
But each has a different "Radio Button Choice" under the Options TAB.
It does work when I process the forms and save the data.
The field "Enrollment type" contains either "New Student" or "Returning
Student" depending on which option they picked.
I am sending these forms back to the parents to edit any new/changed info
and want it to have "Returning Student" checked since they are in fact
returning and not new anymore.

Using a radio button in cfmail / form.

Hello;
This is a silly question, but I can't remember how to program in radio buttons for a cfmailer. I have 3 radio buttons, basically, I just need to know what the users choice was when they checked it off. The following is my radio buttons and what I have for code right now. But I'm not grabbing the proper variable, I also tried dumping a few diffrerent variables to see if I could get it.
<input name="type" type="radio" onClick="setVisibility('sub3', 'inline');setVisibility('sub4','none');setVisibility('sub5','none');" value='male' checked="checked"/>Magnets
<input type="radio" name="type" value='female' onClick="setVisibility('sub3', 'none');setVisibility('sub4','inline');setVisibility('sub5', 'none');"/>Paper Steel
<input type="radio" name="type" value='child' onClick="setVisibility('sub3', 'none');setVisibility('sub4','none');setVisibility('sub5', 'inline');"/> both
on my response page, I tried this:
<cfif form.type EQ "male">
if this was their choice, then this set of rules would apply
</cfif>
and so on for the other two choices. This isn't catching my buttons, what am I doing wrong? do I need to make a paramiter for the radio buttons before I can allow it to function? like this?
<cfparam name="FORM.type" default="">
then I can use my if statement? (that isn't working right now either)
here is what I'm trying to dump:
<cfdump var="#form.type#">
<cfabort>
</cfdump>
How do I do this? Can anyone help me?

I suspect that you have a problem in some portion of your code that you have not posted. To help debugging I suggest you create a simple test using two pages: input.cfm and action.cfm. Get the most simple case working then add the javascript, css, and CF code to make your application work.

          <input name="type" type="radio" value="female" /> Female<br />
          <input type="submit" />
     </form>

Enable/disable/defaulting the radio button in tabular Form

Hi friends,
I have one radio button column in my tabular form with 3 values for it.
<li>FC
<li>BC
<li>EC
I need to enable/disable the radio buttons according to the position of the user.
If the position of the user is CEO means,
then FC radio button has to be checked defaultly and also for him he needs to have BC and EC radio buttons to be enabled.
If the position of the user is between(1-4) grades means,
then FC radio button has to be disabled, but BC radio button has to be checked defaultly and also for him he needs to have EC radio buttons to be enabled.
If the position of the user is between(4-6) grades means,
then FC, BC radio button has to be disabled, but EC radio button has to be checked defaultly.
How i can achieve this radio button enabling/disabling and defaulting it dynamically according to the user.
Where i need to specify this kind of restriction inorder to work for me in my application.
Brgds,
Mini

Hi Bob,
thanks for your reply first, and your suggestion too.
I tried in the below manner on the lov definition of my radio button and it hide/shown according to the user who logs into the application.
SELECT 'FC' d, 'FC' r FROM DUAL WHERE lower(:APP_USER) = (select lower(user_name) from apps.xxhy_ams_details_v where upper(job_name) = 'CEO')
UNION ALL
SELECT 'BC' d, 'BC' r FROM DUAL WHERE lower(:APP_USER) IN (select lower(user_name) from apps.xxhy_ams_details_v where grade_name
BETWEEN 1 and 4 OR lower(:APP_USER) = (select lower(user_name) from apps.xxhy_ams_details_v where upper(job_name) = 'CEO'))
UNION ALL
SELECT 'EC' d, 'EC' r FROM DUALBut how i can check the radio button defaultly according to the user who logs in .
<li> If the employee with the position CEO logs into the application means, he needs to have FC to be checked defaultly.
<li> If the employee with the grade between(1-4) logs into the application means, he needs to have BC to be checked defaultly.
<li> If the employee with the grade between(5-12) logs into the application means, he needs to have EC to be checked defaultly.
Note:
Instead of hide/show the radio buttons defaultly whether it is possible to enable/disable the radio button according to the user who logs into the application.
Brgds,
Mini...

Setting a Radio Button value using Javascript

After much research, I've figured out that the appropriate command to get the value of a Radio Button in APEX JavaScript is "html_RadioValue", but I haven't been able to figure out a command that will let you set the value of the Radio Button. Is there documentation on APEX's use of JavaScript that covers this issue?
Here's a simplified version of the script:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function showval()
var item1 = html_RadioValue('P19_RADIO');
alert(item1);
//Reverse the current selection
if (item1 == 'Y') then
<mystery_statement> //set P19_RADIO to N.
else
<mystery_statement> //set P19_RADIO to Y.
</script>
I've tried the following, but none of them have worked:
- document.getElementById("P19_RADIO").value = 'N';
- document.getElementById("P19_RADIO").checked = 'N';
- $x('P19_RADIO').value = 'N';
- $x('P19_RADIO').checked = 'N';
Thanks.

Okay, that worked in the Oracle-hosted environment, but not in my development environment. Looking at the view/source output from each, it seems that the versions of APEX are different - my environment is using version 3.0.1.00.07.
The most obvious difference between the sources is the javascript includes at the top:
<script src="/i/javascript/apex_ns_3_1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/i/javascript/apex_3_1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/i/javascript/apex_get_3_1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/i/javascript/apex_builder.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
vs.
<script src="/i301/javascript/htmldb_html_elements.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/i301/javascript/htmldb_get.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
My fundamental question is: how does one learn Javascript, in the context of APEX? I can't find any documentation that explains what $v means, or what $x means, or what $s means.
Thanks.

Multiple sets of radio buttons no longer working

Hello All:
My first post so I apologize in advance if I don't do it
properly.
I have a few web forms that have multiple groups of radio
buttons on them that are suddenly errorring out since we moved to
CF 7. I started tinkering with the one form that I have posted the
code for and kept cutting it down to the simplest code that begins
to produce the error. If I just use 1 radio button group everything
works fine, but the minute I add the second one, the whole thing
throws a "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression"
message. Each radio button group has it's own group name and a
checked value. It is very simple code and very frustrating why it
has suddenly stopped working so any assistance is welcome.
Here's the form code:

OK. I took out the extra comma. Put a space in after *survey*
and put "form" in front of the variables in order to scope them. I
got it to work just then and decided to add the next radio button
and once again, the error message keeps coming up.

How do I select radio button in a form and also in a table (urgent)

Hi all
I have two radio buttons on top of a table. And within a table for each row I have a radiobutton. When the page shows up in the begining. I am calling the the script
function selectFirstRow(form) {
          var firstRow=-1;
        for(i=0; i<form.elements.length; i++) {
             if ( form.elements.type == "radio" ) {
if ( firstRow < 0 ) {
firstRow = i;
form.elements[i].checked = true;
} else {
form.elements[i].checked = false;
It selects the first radio in the datatable which is fine. But it also unselects the radios above the table. I know why it does because in the script it unselects all the radios in that form. Could anybosy help me in modifying the script so that it only does it for a table. I can pass the table id.
thanks

To get the radio button inside the table instead of form.elements, get the child nodes of table node.
Something like this
var tableObj = document.getElementById('tableId');
var tbodyObj = tableObj.getElementsByTagName("TBODY")[0];
var inputObjs = tbodyObj.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
var tempChild = null;
for(var i=0;i<inputObjs.length;++i) {
    tempChild = inputObjs;
if(tempChild.type == 'radio') {
// Do something

Deselecting radio button in Adobe Forms Central

When creating a form using Adobe Forms Centralsolution, I use, very often, the radio button selection option. But I notice that when this isn't a required field, and people try to undo their selection, they can't. They can only choose another option, but can't just unselect it and live all the options unchecked, right?
Is there any I can make it work this way, I mean, make it possible for people who checked an option by mistake and don't want to leave any option checked, just unchec it?
Thanx

Sorry it is not possible to unselect a radio button. What I can suggest it to add a choice like "none of the above".

Cannot save checked radio buttons in pdf forms

I am using form 1023 from the IRS which has a series of "yes" and "no" radio buttons that need to be checked. The problem is that each time I check my responses and save the pdf, it opens with my filled info still intact (i.e. my name, etc...), but none of the boxes are checked.
Help, please?

If you're using Apple's Preview application, for this particular PDF file you might try the Adobe Reader application instead:

How to set a radio button to be selected?

I'm trying to find out how to do something that should be seemingly simple. That is to create a little function that selects a random radio button as selected. I have 3 radio buttons in a group (see code):
</mx:ApplicationControlBar>
<mx:RadioButtonGroup id="radiogroupZ"/>
<mx:RadioButton x="10" y="608" label="Button 1" groupName="radiogroupZ"/>
<mx:RadioButton x="10" y="634" label="Button 2" groupName="radiogroupZ"/>
<mx:RadioButton x="10" y="660" label="Button 3" groupName="radiogroupZ"/>
I've tried all kinds of code to try to set Button 1, 2 or 3 as selected but the compiler keeps giving me errors.
Can someone give me an example of a simple function that will set one of these as highlighted? All I need is the code that basically says for example: "Select Button 1 in the group "radiogroupZ to be selected".
Thanks

// This will have the first button selected.
<mx:RadioButtonGroupd id="radiogroupZ" selectedValue="somethingHere1"/>
<mx:RadioButton x="10" y="608" label="Button 1" value="somethingHere1" groupName="radioGroupZ"/>
<mx:RadioButton x="10" y="608" label="Button 1" value="somethingHere2" groupName="radioGroupZ"/>
<mx:RadioButton x="10" y="608" label="Button 1" value="somethingHere3" groupName="radioGroupZ"/>
// To select something in a function
private function functionName():void
radiogroupZ.selectedValue = "somethingHere1";
