creating forms based on radio button selections

6 New Member
I've got a section of a website that I currently use to perform a search for users. My boss wants that section to have the option of being 1 of 3 different searches (search our webpage; search our catalog; search using this webtool we use). What I'd like to do is essentially an If/ElseIF (or Case/Select if you prefer) idea based on the user selecting one of 3 choices from the radio buttons (so if they click the "search web page" button all of a sudden the search fields change and it uses the block of code I've written to search the web site), but I have no idea how to do this in an HTML/PHP environment. I've created all 3 searches without too much trouble but making them change which is going based on the button choice confuses me.

thanks for your time

If you realy want to do it "all of a sudden" You have to use Javascript.
use on each button or Radio input an onClick or onChange event to hide and show fields

I've made a content managment system that uses icons to represent page layouts. To choose a different layout, the user clicks on a radio button associated with each layout icon. On click of one of the radio buttons, the form submits and a new layout is chosen. I would prefer if people can click on the icons themselves , rather than using the radio buttons.The border or background associated with the selected icon can highlight...

Hello all... I have a page that will be performing a search. The search consists of 3 radio button options. The first 2 will search the entire web through google and the site as indexed by google. The 3rd option I want to search the site using MS-Index Server. I can get them to run individually but I'm not sure how to set the parameters and test for the 3rd radio button (index server) selected on the page. I thought that, for...

Hello, I have a web page that gets the user to select items from a list of options. This list is a set of independant Radio Buttons. I did not use a Radio Button List because I wanted the possibility of multiple selections. However, one item is "None of the above" and I have placed some logic (autopostback, etc.) that will remove all previous selections if "None of the above" is chosen. My problem is this: This list of Radio Buttons...

I'm dynamically creating a number of radio buttons on my aspx page based upon data read from a db. Each radio button has autopostback turned on. I'm experiencing two problems. 1) I am reading the db, creating the radio buttons, and setting the checked property (also based upon data in the db) in Page_Load regardless of whether a postback is occurring or not. The page loads and displays correctly each time unless the database is updated...

Hi! I am new to PHP but I am a very experienced in Perl/CGI/templates. I work in medical informatics when we deal with very large data collection forms. Some of them have over 1000 elements! Forms are not outputted by PHP, they are designed by nurses using various visual HTML editors /drag & drop/. Ok, it is relatively easy to get all the fields submitted into the MySQL server. But there is always a chance of a data entry error or a...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
