Flash form onclick event not working

[Armek Mareki]

Can not get onClick syntax to work correctly. Help is much appreciated.

<cfform  action="nexpage.cfm" target="_self" method="post"  enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="frm1"  format="flash"   width="900" height="700" skin="haloblue">

<cfformgroup type="horizontal"> 
   <cfformitem type="text" width="300" enabled="yes">How did you learn of our online process?</cfformitem>

   <cfinput type="radio" name="lead" label="Newspaper"  value="1" onClick="document.frm1.newspaper.disabled=false" />

      <cfselect disabled="true" visible="yes" name="newspaper" id="newspaper" multiple="no" width="250" >
               <option value="">Select one</option>
               <option value="1">option 1</option>
               <option value="2">option 2</option>
               <option value="3">option 3</option>
    </cfselect>
</cfformgroup>

<cfformgroup type="horizontal"> 
   <cfformitem type="spacer" width="300" enabled="yes" />

   <cfinput type="radio" name="lead" label="Job Center"  value="2" onClick="document.frm1.JCenter.disabled=false" />

     <cfselect disabled="true" visible="yes" name="JCenter" id="JCenter" multiple="no" width="250" >
          <option value="">Select one</option>
          <option value="1">option 1</option>
          <option value="2">option 2</option>
          <option value="3">option3</option>
    </cfselect>

  
</cfformgroup>

</cfform>

onClick="document.frm1.newspaper.disabled=false"

It looks like you are using javascript. Flash forms use actionscript. It is a totally different beast.

UPDATE:

Never mind.  My previous suggestion will not work because the radio fields have the same name.  I am sure there are better ways.

But you could call a function onClick. One that changes the state of the select lists..

    <cfformitem type="script">
        function setListState() {
            newspaper.enabled = (lead.selectedData == 1);
            JCenter.enabled = (lead.selectedData == 2);
        }
    </cfformitem>
   <cfinput type="radio" name="lead" label="Newspaper" value="1" onClick="setListState()">

    ...
   <cfinput type="radio" name="lead" label="Job Center"  value="2"  onClick="setListState()">

I always use the same name for a group of radio buttons.

The selects are all different names as those are distinct. Radio buttons are part of same 'grouping'

Of course, and that makes sense. I simply meant the first technique I described would not work here, because it is designed to work with a different type of object (radiobutton versus radiobuttongroup).  Anyway, take a look at the suggested alternative in my edited post.

Is the onClick doing anything at all?

Yes, it works if you use actionscript instead of javascript.
