Set value of hidden field based on selection of radio button

menhir

Hi,

Let's say I have two fields in my db; value1 and value1_date

Value for value1 is selected with radio button values Yes | No.
Value for value1_date is hidden field.

When value Yes is selected I want the value of hidden field value1_date to be set to NOW(). If value No is selected, the value1_date will be empty. How can it be done with the editor?

Thanks

Easy. Use the .edit().set() API. Put an onClick event on value1 radio button to trigger the call.

See this page for an example

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I don't really get it because I'm new to DataTables Editor. May I ask you for an example of code? I didn't understand how to use the examples on http://editor.datatables.net/reference/api/edit() for my problem...

Is it this part of the js file I need to change:

            {
                "label": "Value 1",
                "name": "value1",
                "type": "radio",
                "def": "No",
                "options": [
                    "Yes",
                    "No"
                ]
            },

or is it a separate code part for value1_date I need to add?
