container values not getting

iwTech

I have a container , which contains three items

Radio bottom with two option A , B
One text item
One Browser Item

select option A , it should display Text item and hide Browser Item
select option B , it should display Browser Item and hide Text item

My From API works only for the first container item and not for the others

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2]What is wrong with my code?

Pls Advice

Thanks

[/size][/font][PHP]

function init()
{

IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/root_container/first_container/item_1","onItemChange", setValueBox();
}
function setValueBox()
{
alert("inside function ");

var children = IWDatacapture.getItem("/root_container/first_container/").getChildren();

for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++)

{
var child = children;
var category = child.getChildren();

var radioValue = category[0].getValue();

alert('radioValue' + category);

if (radioValue ==1)
{category[1].setVisible(true); }
if (radioValue ==0)
{category[2].setVisible(true);}
}

}

First:

IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/root_container/first_container/item_1",
                               "onItemChange",
                               setValueBox();

You have an extraneous open-paren after "setValueBox" which does not belong there.

Second:

function setValueBox()
{
alert("inside function ");

var children = IWDatacapture.getItem("/root_container/first_container/").getChildren();
...

The item event handler is, by default, passed a parameter - which is the item that triggered the event - so your code should be written to process just the explicit item that triggered the event, you shouldn't have to be processing children here - just take the name of the item that is passed in and use that to get the other items that you want to manipulate - e.g.:

function setValueBox(item) {
    var basename = item.getName() + "/..";
    var browser_item = IWDatacapture.getItem(basename + "/browser_item_name");
    var textbox_item = IWDatacapture.getItem(basename + "/textbox_item_name");
    if (item.getValue() == 1) {
        textbox_item.setVisible(false);
        browser_item.setVisible(true);
    }
    else {
        textbox_item.setVisible(true);
        browser_item.setVisible(false);
    }
}

(note the above is not tested, if it doesn't work as shown - allowing for name changes of the items - then it should be pretty close to functional and should only take you 5-10 minutes to fix.)
