Orbeon Form Builder

I have what I hope is an easy question.

I want to have a text field that is visible only if a radio button is set to "on" (versus "off")

how would I setup the action for this?

Thanks

Jeroen Hoffman

Re: Orbeon Form Builder

I'd say use a <bind> on the text field's instance element with an @relevant that checks the value of the radio's instance element.

Cheers

In reply to this post by stringkarma

In Form Builder, you can set various properties in a control's
validation settings dialog.

Other controls are accessible using a variable with the name of the
control. E.g. if you called your radio buttons "on-off", its value is
accessible with $on-off.

So you could write, as a Visibility constraint:

$on-off = 'on'

See screenshot:

(Note that this is translated by Form Builder into an xforms:bind/
@relevant attribute.)

Re: Orbeon Form Builder

Thanks for this, it sounds like a pretty easy yet powerful method. Is there some further documentation on this or the "actions" dialog?

Thanks again.

Not yet. For now the page linked below serves as a placeholder, and
you'll soon find more documentation on Form Builder there:
