I am working on an HTML page that receives a value from one of 2 elements. The user switches between those 2 elements with a radio button, making one element disappear and the other one appear. The only problem is, when the element is changed, the value variable in the fex file isn't changed until you select something from the element that just appeared. Is there a way to update the variable inside the fex file to take on the value of the element once it appears?

You not only need to make the element appear, you also need to make the element selected. There are javascript functions to do that for elements.

Example:

  var arr=[];

  arr.push('_FOC_NULL');
  IbComposer_setCurrentSelection('radio1', arr, false);

I figured out that the easier way to solve the problem was to use a hidden element and pass the value of one of the 2 elements into it via javascript depending on which radio button was selected.
