setValue() usinf FORM API

TeamsiteUser

Hello,

I have a radio button in datacapture.cfg for which i need to set the value and its visiblility using form api.

datacapture.cfg code for radio button is attached :


The requirement is that depending on value of the select box value(classification), we have to set the value and its visiblilty of this radio button(which is under a container).

function init() {
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/classification","onItemChange", changeTypes) ;
changeTypes();
}

function changeTypes(){
var item = IWDatacapture.getItem("/classification");
var typeValue = item.getValue();
if(typeValue != null)
{
var selectedType = item.getOptions()[typeValue].text;

var hid = IWDatacapture.getItem('/Required Fields/hidden');
if (selectedType == "Overview") {
hid.setVisible(true);
hid.setRequired(true);

}
else if (selectedType == "Homepage") {
hid.setValue(1);
hid.setVisible(false);

}
IWDatacapture.redraw();
}
}

This code works fine when we call this function on Item change of that select box. But the same code does not work on the initial load of DCR. After putting lot of alerts, i found out that the error is on statement
hid.setValue(1);. It does not execute any line after this line and it just gets out of the method during initial load but it works fine absolutely on item change of select box..

This code was working on TS 5.5 but has stopped working as we have upgraded to TS 6.5 SP2

Please help me out in this issue.

Please show the line of FormAPI code that calls the init function.
