I have been trying to work this out and have tried many sripts to no avail. I have 3 subforms and 3 radio buttons, depending which radio button is selected should determine which subform is viewable. All the subforms are currently not visible, but I cannot get them to show. I have searched extensively both in this forum and google, but only found a solution for a yes / no, not 3 subforms / choices.
The most recent script I tried on click is:
 
TopmostSubform.Page1.page1subform.subject.Subject::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == 1){
_RHW.presence == "visible";
} else {
 
_RHW.presence == "hidden";
 
}
 
if (this.rawValue == 2){
_DSP.presence == "visible";
} else {
 
_DSP.presence == "hidden";
 
}
 
if (this.rawValue == 3){
_WRP.presence == "visible";
} else {
 
_WRP.presence == "hidden";
 
}
  
Where 1, 2 and 3 are the bindings on the radio button choices.
 
Any help would be gratly appreciated.

Two equals signs (==) are used to indicate equality; to -set- a variable or property, use one equals sign (=).

Instead of

_RHW.presence == "visible";

try

_RHW.presence = "visible";

Unfortunately, changing this still did not resolve my problem.

Try:

switch(this.rawValue) {
case 1:
_RHW.presence = "visible";
break;
case 2:
_DSP.presence = "visible";
break;
case 3:
_WRP.presence = "visible";
break;
}

Thanks for the suggestion SLDC, however it is still not working. I have applied the above code to the radio button group, which appears as an exclusion group. the binding to the items are specified 1 , 2 and 3. The form is saved as a dynamic form (pdf). I don't know what I am missing to get this to work.

Can you post the file somewhere? I'd be happy to look at the actual form and code.

Also: it can be useful to throw some temporary code into your scripts to help you figure out what's happening. Try putting this in:

app.alert("this.rawValue is currently "+this.rawValue+".");

It'll pop up a window showing you the current rawValue, so you can make sure that it's turning out the way you expect.

When you use _WRP you don't actually reference the subform but the instance manager of the subform. Try to remove the '_' mark from the start of the subform reference like this:

switch(this.rawValue) {
case 1:
RHW.presence = "visible";
break;
case 2:
DSP.presence = "visible";
break;
case 3:
WRP.presence = "visible";
break;
}
