Help me with Radio Buttons and Subform fields, please!

Question

I've built a dynamic order form with three product options listed as radio buttons. The three options are "Contoured" "Standard" and "Custom". "Contoured" requires five subfields to be filled in if it is selected. "Standard" requires two subfields to be filled in if it is selected. "Custom" has no associated subfields.
My problem is that I can't figure out a script that isolates the subfields to the appropriate radio buttons. Can anyone suggest a script to use?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Brian, to understand what I did, I will first explain my hierarchy.
RBList has 3 radio buttons: A, B, C. Specify the Item Value for each Radio button, e.g. A=1, B=2, C=3. For radio button A, create 2 dropdown lists & 3 numeric fields and wrap in a subform called SubA - ensure you leave it as Visible presence. For radio button B, create 1 dropdown & 1 numeric, wrap in a subform called SubB, and make sure this is visible. I put my code on the subforms (SubA and SubB) rather than the radio buttons. Also, in order for the layout to be saved in Reader, if you want to save and reopen, you must use the script on the Calculate event. The Click event will not save the layout for you (learnt this from past experience in Designer 7.2 Designer 8 saves layout different again). The event Calculates the function as soon as you open up the file.
Using JavaScript on the Calculate event, on the SubA subform would look like this:
if (RBList.A.rawValue !=1) {
this.presence = "hidden";
else {
this.presence = "visible";
Using JavaScript on the Calculate event, on the SubB subform would look like this:
if (RBList.B.rawValue !=2) {
this.presence = "hidden";
else {
this.presence = "visible";
The radio button C would not require script if there is not subform needed.
Let me know if this works for you.
