unchecking checkbox using formapi

hi,

I have an issue with check box.

I got a checkbox item in a replicant.

The validation is, only one checkbox should be checked from all the replicants.

so i have done that validation,it is showing an alert when user tries to check more than one check box.

now after showing an alert i want to uncheck the checkbox which is checked.

How to do using formApI?

thanks in advance,

regards,
chakri

cb_item.checked = false;

ravio

item.setValue("");

jbonifaci

cb_item.checked = false;

Boris, that's the javascript answer, not the formapi answer...

item.setValue("");

That's not going to work either...

In FormAPI, if you know which checkbox you want to uncheck, lets say it's the first checkbox, you'll want to do this:

var optionsArray = itemObject.getOptions();
optionsArray[0].selected = false;
itemObject.setOptions(optionsArray);

Hi,

I am facing the similar kind of issue. I want to deselect the checkbox into the datacature.cfg when certain codition met but unable to do it.
code snnipets are as(function called on event onItemChange):

function removeAudience() {

var getRemoveAud = IWDatacapture.getItem("/REMOVE_AUDIENCE");
var getAudienceValue = IWDatacapture.getItem("/AVAILABLE_AUDIENCES");
alert("Into Remove Audience chkbox...value is ="+getRemoveAud.getValue());
//alert('chkbox status BEFORE'+getRemoveAud.checked);

if ((getRemoveAud.getValue()=="0") && (getAudienceValue != ""))
{
var chooseRemove = confirm('Are you sure you want to continue?');

if(chooseRemove==true)
{
getAudienceValue.setValue("");
var optionArray = "";

getRemoveAud.selected = false;

//getRemoveAud.checked = false;
getRemoveAud.setValue("1");
}
//alert('chkbox status AFTER'+getRemoveAud.checked);
}

Please guide me on this issue.

Thanks.

you are not doing exactly what Jeff posted:
[HTML]

try this:
var optionsArray = getRemoveAud.getOptions();
optionsArray[0].selected = false;
getRemoveAud.setOptions(optionsArray);

instead of this: getRemoveAud.selected = false;
