Javascript If Then --- Need Help

[aukirk]

I am hoping someone can see a clear error in this code and help me. I am putting this script in the footer of the details page on a "Search and Report" DataPage. I am hoping to have and If... then statement where (a) if Field_A is set to the value "Pending", then Field_B has a value of "Incomplete", or ( if Field_A is set to the value "Done", then Field_B has a value of "Complete". Otherwise, there will be no change made to Field_B.

Here is what I have:

function checkstatus()

{

var a_status = document.getElementById("EditRecordField_A").value;

var b_status = document.getElementById("EditRecordField_B").value;

if (a_status == 'Pending')

{

b_status = 'Incomplete';

}

if (a_status == 'Done')

{

b_status = 'Complete';

}

document.getElementById('caspioform').onsubmit=checkstatus;

I figured out that the problem was that one of those fields was radio buttons. By changing it to a drop down it works.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work with radiobuttons? I am assuming they need to be referrenced in a different way?

Hi Aukirk,

Each option of radio button has own ID (EditRecordField_B0, EditRecordField_B1, etc). To select radio button you should use checked property:

document.getElementById('EditRecordField_B0').checked = true;

Thanks,
