Invisible and Visible

Question

I want my user to select one of three radio buttons and have a drop down list appear as a result. For each selection there is a separate drop down list.
Each drop down is invisible; selection of radio button determines which drop down becomes visible.
I cannot make the drop down list visible when I click on a radio button.
My code (in the on click event at the radio butoon)is
--> form1.page1.DropDownListX.presence == "visible" <-- end code, where "DropDownListX" is the drop down list I want visible.
Can some kind and helpful person here aid me please?
Thanks,
Chris

Answer 1

Let's say you create a new radio button group by dragging three radio buttons onto a form. Then you place a drop down list next to each button, name these drop down lists "DropDownListX" where "X" is 1-3 and make them invisible by setting the Presence property on the Object palette's Field tab to
invisible. You can achieve the effect you're looking for by placing the following code on each radio button's Click event (in FormCalc):
DropDownList1.presence = "visible"
DropDownList2.presence = "invisible"
DropDownList3.presence = "invisible"
Of course, this is the code for the first radio button which, when clicked, will show DropDownList1. I chose FormCalc here because it was a simple script but you could just as easily do the same in JavaScript:
DropDownList1.presence = "visible";
DropDownList2.presence = "invisible";
DropDownList3.presence = "invisible";
The only difference, in this case, is the mandatory semicolon at the end of each line.
