JavaScript syntax in IDE Page properties

Question

In 'ordinary' HTML I have e.g. a form with name="form1"
a Submit button (name="submit") and radiobutton group:
<input type="radio" value="1" name="answer" onClick="form1.submit.disabled = false">
<input type="radio" value="2" name="answer" onClick="form1.submit.disabled = false">
<input type="radio" value="3" name="answer" onClick="form1.submit.disabled = false">
If I write "form1.submit.disabled = false" for onClick in Creator the Submit button doesn't get
enabled when making a (click) choice of a radio button. What's the correct syntax?
I cannot find any hints in this forum or in the Creator help. /dan

Hi,
Try the following:
1. Drag and drop the following components - button, radioButton, textField and staticText
2. Click on the button; in the properties sheet check the disabled property
3. Double click on the button to go to the button1_action method in the java source
4. Eneter the following line of code
staticText1.setValue("I have been clicked");
5. Click on the radioButton; in the properties sheet click on the ... button next to the onClick property
6. In the window that pops up enter the following lines of code
document.getElementById("form1:button1").disabled = false;
document.getElementById("form1:textField1").value = "Hello";
Save and run the application. On trying to click the button we can see that nothing happens as the button is disabled. Now click on the radio button and you will the textField is populated with the string Hello. Now click on the button and the static text displays "I have been clicked".
As can be seen the button has been enabled. Unfortunately though the appearance of the button makes it look like it is still disabled. I have filed a bug for the same.
Hope this helps
