Form Checkboxes

Give them the same name but different export values.

@try67

I tried your suggestion but it still did not work. I should have mentioned that each of my check boxes have a different script. I am not sure if that makes a difference...

Here is the sample script I have for the mouse up event:

checkbox1
var nHide = event.target.isBoxChecked(0)?display.visible:display.hidden;
this.getField("SUBMIT").display = nHide;
this.getField("txtSuperEmail").display = nHide;
this.getField("SuperName").display = nHide;

checkbox2
var nHide = event.target.isBoxChecked(0)?display.visible:display.hidden;
this.getField("Submit to Approver").display = nHide;
this.getField("APPROVE").display = nHide;
this.getField("ApproverName").display = nHide;
this.getField("txtEmail").display = nHide;
this.getField("txtManagerApprove").display = nHide;

ple,

Your checkboxes still have different names. The only way to make sure that only one is selected is to have each named "checkbox", not "checkbox1" & "checkbox2". The script shouldn't make a difference, since you aren't referencing the field name, just the checkbox status.

KellyMcC,

Sorry I should have been more clear. When I change the name of the check boxes to have the same name my javascript to show or hide a layer does not work. If the user selects an option and later changes their mind and chooese another option my javascript for the check box selected does not run. It looks like it is commiting to the first selection only. Is there a way I can change that?

You need to name the check boxes with the same name and different export values. You then need to use same script for the check boxes 'mouse up' action. Your script should check the value of the check box group and execute the code based on the export value. You should also provide for the 'unchecked' state.

Assuming you use export values of "1" and "2" for your 2 buttons:

switch(event.value) {
case "1":
this.getField("SUBMIT").display = display.visible;
this.getField("txtSuperEmail").display = display.visible;
this.getField("SuperName").display = display.visible;
break;

case "2":
this.getField("Submit to Approver").display = display.visible;
this.getField("APPROVE").display = display.visible;
this.getField("ApproverName").display = display.visible;
this.getField("txtEmail").display = display.visible;
this.getField("txtManagerApprove").display = display.visible;
break;

default:
// all other values hide all fields
this.getField("SUBMIT").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("txtSuperEmail").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("SuperName").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("Submit to Approver").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("APPROVE").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("ApproverName").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("txtEmail").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("txtManagerApprove").display = display.hidden;
break;
}
