Hello all, thanks for your help in advance.

I am trying to create a javascript that will change the value of a text box when a radio button is clicked. I have an array of beans containing a user and their status being written to the jsp page through the use of struts iterate. When the admin changes the status of the user by clicking a different radio button, I want the text field (to be hidden at a later date) to change to true so I will know in my action when a status has been changed.

Currently the javascript I have gives no errors, but does not change the value of the textboxes either. I have tried multiple ways of changing the values...all are provided in my code.

javascript:



Jsp/Struts


Any help on how to change that value would be great. thanks.

when you do

document.name.value="true";

it is look for a form named name

you need to do

document.formName["theNameOfTheElement"].value = "true";

"Matt S.",

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!
