2 radio, 1 list box - form reload 3

bipink · Apr 18, 2004

Hi everyone,

Please anyone suggest me how to do this:

I have 2 radio buttons. When the user clicks on 2nd radio button, a selection box (combo box) is shown. This means that first time when the page loads, the combo box is hidden. I am using style:hidden for the visibility. When user clicks on 2nd button, i make the combo box visible.
Now, on clicking the combo box the same page reloads again after doing a query on the database and displays some info.
Now my problem is that when the second time the page reloads, the combo box is hidden. This time I want it to be visible and not hidden.
Can someone suggest me how to do this ?
Thanks a lot,

Sincerely,
bipin

Assuming you're using a post to the same page the 2nd time around:

' If there was a post.
If Request.TotalBytes > 0 Then
...
Else
...
End If

Hi Mr. Schmidt,

Is this a javascript function or asp ?
Because I use following in a javascript function to make the combo box visible on click of 2nd button:

document.getElementById('sArea3id').style.visibility = "visible";

How do I change it back within my ASP ?
Thanks,

Bipin

You can mix and match the ASP and Javascript:
'If there was a post.
If Request.TotalBytes > 0 Then
%>
<SCRIPT Language=Javascript>
document.getElementById('sArea3id').style.visibility = "visible";
</SCRIPT>
<%
Else
%>
<SCRIPT Language=Javascript>
document.getElementById('sArea3id').style.visibility = "hidden";
</SCRIPT>
<%
End If
Based on what was posted, you can make the object visible or hidden

Here's a simple example of how you could do it. Continue to use whatever function you are currently using to make the Select box visible. Create a hidden form field and post a value to the page (in this case "myFlag"). If the value is passed then it means the form was submitted. In that case you can call your function in the Body OnLoad event.

Code:

<%
ShowSelect=FALSE
if request.Form("myFlag") <> "" then
	ShowSelect=TRUE
End if
%>

<html><head><body <%if ShowSelect then%> onLoad="ShowSelect()" <%end if%>>
<form name="form1" method="POST" action="<%=request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME")%>">
<select name="sArea3id" style="visibility:hidden;">
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
</select>
<br>
<input name="rdo1" type="radio" value="0" onClick="ShowSelect()">
<input name="btnSubmit" type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="myFlag" value="1">
</form>
</body></html>
<script language="javascript">
function ShowSelect(){
document.getElementById('sArea3id').style.visibility = "visible";
}
</script>
