using "onclick" with radio button in appengine

Question

Here's a code snippet. . .

<form name="FinalAccept" method="get"><br>

<input type="radio" name="YesNo" value="Yes" onclick="/accept"> Yes<br>

<input type="radio" name="YesNo" value="No" onclick="/accept"> No<br>

Clearly, what I'm trying to do is call the routine linked to /accept when the user clicks on the radio button.

I know the routine is working because I call the same routine from another place in the program.

I'm trying to run it locally using google appserver. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks

Answer 1

You're probably thinking of action= for the form element. onClick would just fire a javascript function.

Answer 2

If you want to submit the entire form when the user clicks on a radio button, then try this:

<form name="FinalAccept" method="get" action="accept"><br>
<input type="radio" name="YesNo" value="Yes" onclick="this.form.submit();"> Yes<br>
<input type="radio" name="YesNo" value="No" onclick="this.form.submit();"> No<br>
</form>

Plus, if you want to make your UI a little more user friendly, change it to this:

<form name="FinalAccept" method="get" action="accept"><br>
<input id="rYes" type="radio" name="YesNo" value="Yes" onclick="this.form.submit();">
<label for="rYes">Yes</label><br>
<input id="rNo" type="radio" name="YesNo" value="No" onclick="this.form.submit();">
<label for="rNo">No</label><br>
</form>

This will make the text "Yes" and "No" as clickable labels for their radio buttons. The user can click the label to select the radio button.
