Stuck on a radio button?

evanpicard — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:26:07 GMT

Ive got a radio button:

            <form id="myform" >
                <H3>Select</H3>
                <input type="radio" name="selectingTool" id="radioOne" checked value="District"/> <label for="radioOne">District</label> <br />
                <input type="radio" name="selectingTool" id="radioTwo" value="Division"/> <label for="radioTwo">Division</label> <br />
                <button id="buttonbutton" onclick=searchChoice()>Apply</button>
            </form>

I want to use this to select which layer is queried:

        function searchChoice() {
          alert(dojo.byId("radioOne").value);
              switch (dojo.byId("selectingTool").value) {
              case "District":
                dojo.connect(districtLayer, 'onClick', function(evt){
                  alert("hi");
                  //select the clicked feature

                  var query = new esri.tasks.Query();
                  query.geometry = evt.mapPoint;
                  districtLayer.selectFeatures(query, esri.layers.FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW);
                }); //end of onClick...
                break;
              case "Division":
                dojo.connect(divisionLayer, 'onClick', function(evt){
                  //select the clicked feature
                  var query = new esri.tasks.Query();
                  query.geometry = evt.mapPoint;
                  divisionLayer.selectFeatures(query, esri.layers.FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW);
                }); //end of onClick...
                break;
            };  
        };

Instead of any of that the whole page redraws. why does it redraw?!
in 1 or 2 of my 1000 or so attempts I've gotten the value of the selecting tool to change to "district" but never division.
Sorry if its a little messy, ive changed things back and forth 1000 times today.
And, how do I get to radioTwo??!

Please help.
Thank you,
Evan

Your form is probably being submitted which causes the page to reload. Either ditch the form (you can just use input tags and a button) or use preventDefault().

Thank you. That certainly got rid of the refresh, but I still can't get into the switch statement. Any idea? I must be missing something.
Thanks for the help.
