Posted on by aipet

Hello,

I tried to run the following code to set 'other' radio button checked but it did no work, wonder why... Is it because I can only get but can not set values with 'run js action'?

function ExecuteScript() {
document.getElementById("other").checked = true;
}

Thanks

Hi,

First, you can use other action to set the state for the radio button, you don't need to use JS script. In the below image, I used "Set check box state on web page" and it works well for my example.
Secondly, as I know, you are using w3schools.com for trying the JS script and it does work for your JS script because w3schools.com page embedded an iframe in the page, so JS script will not work with the iframe. You can see my image in below, I copy the html content, and saved it as a html file in my computer, then I run the JS script, it works well then.

Thanks and hope it can help you.
Mike

Hello,

You can use the Run JS action to set attributes as well. It just depends on the nature of web page that you're working on.
Mike has explained this well in his answer.

The better option would be to use the actions in PAD directly to set the radio buttons.
You can use the Set Radio Button on Web Page action to do this
