I want that when the "Yes" radio button of a form (form1) is checked, a new form (form2) appears, with two radio buttons and their text "Yes" and "No". With an event "onclick" in the "Yes" button of the form1, I manage to make the new form appear, with the two radio buttons, but I cannot make their text appear. Since radio buttons do not have "innerHTML", I try to add the text either as plain text, either as "label", but it is not working. Is it a problem in the syntax or in the logic (not possible to create text at the same time as the button)?
In my HTML body I have this:
<form id="form1">
<input type="radio" id= "form1_no" value="no" checked>
<label for = "form1_no" >No</label>
<input type="radio" id= "form1_yes" value="yes" onClick= exam()>
<label for = "form2_yes" >Yes</label>
</form>
The function exam()
is:
<script type='application/javascript'>
function exam() {
var inputno = document.createElement("input");
inputno.type = "radio";
inputno.id = "form2_no";
inputno.value = "no";
inputno.onclick = function () {alert("I select No in Form 2")};
document.getElementById("form2").appendChild(inputno); // this is working
var inputyes = document.createElement("input");
inputyes.type = "radio";
inputyes.id = "form2_yes";
inputyes.value ="yes";
inputyes.onclick = function () {alert("I select Yes in Form 2")};
document.getElementById("form2").appendChild(inputyes); // this is working
// now, the code that is not working:
// 1st tentative (adding "Yes" and "No" as plain text after their radio button):
var textno = "No";
document.getElementById("form2_no").appendChild(textno);
var textyes = "Yes";
document.getElementById("form2_yes").appendChild(textyes);
// 2nd tentative (adding "Yes" and "No" as labels to their radio button):
var labelno = document.createElement("label");
labelno.for="form2_no";
labelno.innerHTML = "No";
document.getElementById("form2_no").appendChild(labelno);
var labelyes = document.createElement("label");
labelyes.for="form2_yes";
labelyes.innerHTML = "Yes";
document.getElementById("form2_yes").appendChild(labelyes);
}
</script>
Something like this works to create a button and label.
<div id="radio_home"></div>
<script>
var radio_home = document.getElementById("radio_home");
function makeRadioButton(name, value, text) {
var label = document.createElement("label");
var radio = document.createElement("input");
radio.type = "radio";
radio.name = name;
radio.value = value;
label.appendChild(radio);
label.appendChild(document.createTextNode(text));
return label;
}
var yes_button = makeRadioButton("yesbutton", "yes", "Oh yea! do it!");
radio_home.appendChild(yes_button);
</script>
