Are you using LiveCycle Designer or Acrobat Form Tools to create your form?

Conditional Execution

The value of the ceck box will be "Off" when not selected and the "Export Value" when selected. For a single check box you can easily use the 'isBoxChecked" method of the check box field.

You need to access each group of radio buttons by their form field name and set the 'readionly" property to 'true".

Since you need to process a block of commands, use the curly brackets to mark the block of code.

You also need to process the form fields when the value is not "Yes".

var cAgree = this.getField("Supplier_Info - DDC_None").value;

if( cAgree == "Yes" ) {

// make the following radio boxes read only

var oField = this.getField("RadioBox 1");

oField.readonly = true;

oField = this.getField("RadioBox 2");

oField.readonly = true;

oField = this.getField("RadioBox 3");

oField.readonly = true;

} else {

// make radio buttons RW

var oField = this.getField("RadioBox 1");

oField.readonly = false;

oField = this.getField("RadioBox 2");

oField.readonly = false;

oField = this.getField("RadioBox 3");

oField.readonly = false;

} // end process radio buttons

You have to call the funciton with a mouse up or on blur action with

disable_radio_buttons_DDC()

You may need to change:

this.getField("Supplier_Info - DDC_None").value;

to:

this.getField(event.target.name).value;

or event.value;

since you are still in the field.

Hi Kelso

I have the same problem as you have had. I have tried to put in the code as above in my form. I don't know much about scripting, so where to put the OnMouseUp-event in the code I have no clue! None of the places where I tried did work.

Can you show me in your code how you added the button name to the event?

Thanks

Hi again GKaiseril

So now I'm trying once more - and without my personal expert - to make a radio button exclusion. And I can't get it to do what I want!

I have two sets of radio buttons: "RB1" and "RB2".

In RB1 there is five possible choices: "C1-1", "C1-2", "C1-3", "C1-4", "C1-5".

In RB2 there is four possible choices: "C2-1", "C2-2", "C2-3", "C2-4".

(In my form they have different names, but this to make it easy.)

So, what I need is to make C1-4 disable C2-4.

If I type in what you learned Kelso:

function Disable_C2-4()
{
var cAgree = this.getField("RB1").value;

if( cAgree == "C1-4")
{

// make the following radio boxes read only

var oField = this.getField("C2-4");

oField.readonly = true;
oField.value = "Off";

}
else
{
// make radio buttons RW

var oField = this.getField("C2-4");

oField.readonly = false;

} // end process radio buttons

}

I get this error in the console:

TypeError: oField is null

12:Field:Mouse Up

I can only make it work if I switch out "C2-4" with the whole set: "RB2". But then all the radio buttons in RB2 is made read only, and that isn't what I want.

How can I access only one of the button choices?

I hope you can help me since I need this type of function on several other forms.

Hi Kelso

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, having two sets of radio buttons is the only way to make this simple and foolproof!

So I hope somebody else knows a solution to this.

No, that wouldn't work out right.

I really don't understand if it's not possible to call just one option of the radio buttons...

But I guess I will have to settle with an explaining text saying that the choice is not an option with the other choice - and hope that people will read it!

Thank you for your time, Kelso.

Hi GKaiseil!

Thank you so much for your help!

I could use the hidden function. Though, the readonly and the hidden fuctions don't appear the same, they both do what I want (and prevent people from doing what I don't want them to), so I'm happy now!
