Please post a working copy of Demonstration 20 on beta.datasprings.

There is some critical piece I am missing no matter how many times I re-read the demo page.  I have added a sub-page to the link supplied above, added DF module; imported the xml that was previously exported from the demo 20 orginally posted above and I am unsuccessful at getting it to function.

Your guidance is greatly appreciated.

I am hoping that others find this useful as it helps to unlock the inital use of the radio buttons. I don't understand why the solution isn't included in the default java script file that is initally loaded with the module.

However, in comparing the java script file provided with the link above and the export/import of it in a test page I realized the differences under the section regarding the 'radio buttons':

*****begin of totaling (working) Java Script file****

function funcRadioCalc(RadioName)

{
var chkList1= document.getElementById (RadioName);
var arrayOfCheckBoxes= chkList1.getElementsByTagName("input");
for(var i=0;i {

if (arrayOfCheckBoxes.checked) {
return arrayOfCheckBoxes.value;
}
}
}

function fucRadioCalc(RadioName)

{
var chkList1= document.getElementById (RadioName);
var arrayOfCheckBoxes= chkList1.getElementsByTagName("input");
for(var i=0;i {

if (arrayOfCheckBoxes.checked) {
return arrayOfCheckBoxes.value;
}
}
}
 

****end****

***VERSUS***

***begin of non-totaling, default Java Script file***

function funcRadioCalc(RadioName)

{
var chkList1= document.getElementById (RadioName);
var arrayOfCheckBoxes= chkList1.getElementsByTagName("input");
for(var i=0;i {

if (arrayOfCheckBoxes.checked) {
return arrayOfCheckBoxes.value;
}
}
}

****end****

Again, why wouldn't this be included as the radio buttons won't sub-total without it?

Furthermore, the Demonstration 20 page states only to review "...please visit the Module Configuration and go down to Custom Javascript File and take a look at the Initial Javascript." It doesn't state anyting about reviewing the Java Script file contents itself.

I realize this is a bit nit-picky, but so is this module and the technical features it offers.
This post isn't meant as a critisizim, just voicing my humble opinion for your thoughtful consideration in the future to help make more raging fans.

Thanks,
Dan

Today, I downloaded the sample of Demo 20 on your site and for awhile I couldnt get it working.  But after piecing several followup posts in the comment area of the demo sample page, I wanted to add another comment.

The funcradiocalc seems to be fine on my download.  The issue I had was a piece of the Client Side Event syntax was missing.

Anywhere it references an innerHTMLIDName.innerHTML code, you have to add a document.getElementById to it

e.g. 
Total.innerHTML = 'Your total comes to:  ' + '$' + funcRadioCalc($(Plans_FieldID)) + '';

Should be:
document.getElementById('Total').innerHTML = 'Your total comes to:  ' + '$' + funcRadioCalc($(Plans_FieldID)) + '';

So go through each Client Side event of each question that has a total and add the appropriate reference.

Thanks David for the followup.

Hi Dan,

I modified the code so it would work for the first two radio session options e.g. Session I and Session II

This is what I did to change your code.

1. Initially, the 'Session I' shortname had an extra space following the 'I'.  I removed that.  I believe that causes a problem.
2. I renamed the 'Session I' to ''SessionI' (FYI, Its my preference)
3. You had a shortname for $(Session1_Total), which I believe is suppose to be a hidden value to store the value of 'SessionI' but it did not exist.   I created one instead called 'hidden_SessionI'
4. In your hidden value for HiddenGrandTotal, you had a variable called 'TotalExtraonkeypress' which does not exist in your form, so I removed that.
5. The HiddenGrandTotal now includes the sum of the 'hidden_SessionI' and 'hidden_SessionII'
6. I removed the { and } in the client side event formula, but I am not really sure what the purpose of it

Note:  Keep in mind for the Grand Totals and Hidden Grand Totals.  To get the value for it the 'User' must select an option in 'Session I' and 'Session II' or you wont get a correct total.  It will stay as Zero.  So if its required to select an option in each radio button selection, make sure there is a validation for it.  Also for now, the hidden_SessionI and hidden_SessionII are text boxes, you should change them to hidden.

Hope this helps.  Maybe the DS staff can chime it also.

Dan, I just wanted to say thanks to you too for getting a sample demo fom staff to post in the betsprings site for me to view and to utilize your sample form to work it through.  It was a learning process for me.  Glad you understood my notes.
