Enable InputManager Based On Client-Side Input?

[Shawn]

I am having troubling figuring this out.  I have a form that accepts information about a user - I am using a radInputManger to validate and all of this works fine.  However, if the user wants to enter a "Joint" applicant - they can by selecting the application type from the form.  When they do this - an entire new panel is displayed with additional fields.  I am then using a different inputmanager for these controls and I want to enable it or disable it when appropriate.

This code does not error - but does not make the CoAppInputManager active either.  How can I do this?

Input Managers:

<telerik:RadInputManager ID="RadInputManager1" runat="server" Skin="Windows7">
                  <telerik:TextBoxSetting ErrorMessage="Required!">
                      <TargetControls>
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_FirstName" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_LastName" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_Address" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_City" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_Employer" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_Occupation" />
                      </TargetControls>
                    <Validation IsRequired="True" ValidationGroup="LoanApplication"></Validation>
                  </telerik:TextBoxSetting>
</telerik:RadInputManager>

<telerik:RadInputManager ID="radCoAppInputManager" runat="server" Skin="Windows7">
        <telerik:TextBoxSetting ErrorMessage="Required!">
                      <TargetControls>
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_CoFirstName" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_CoLastName" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_CoOccupation" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_CoEmployer" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_CoAddress" />
                          <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_CoCity" />
                      </TargetControls>
                    <Validation IsRequired="True" ValidationGroup="LoanApplication"></Validation>
                  </telerik:TextBoxSetting>
</telerik:RadInputManager>

Javascript:

 <telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">

         <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
                <!--

             function ToggleAppType(sender, eventArgs) {
                 var item = eventArgs.get_item();
                 var im_AppType = $find("<%= radCoAppInputManager.ClientID %>");

                 if (item.get_value() == "Joint") {
                     document.getElementById("Co-Applicant").style.display = "block";
                     im_AppType.enabled = true;
                     // document.getElementById("radCoAppInputManager").visible = true;
                 }
                 else {
                     document.getElementById("Co-Applicant").style.display = "none";
                     im_AppType.visible = false;
                     // document.getElementById("radCoAppInputManager").visible = false;
                 }

             }
</script>
</telerik:RadCodeBlock>

So is there a way to enable and disable the radinput manager client-side, or will i have to do a post-back? I really don't want to have to do that...

So if I cant enable or disable an input manager client-side, can I just add and remove textboxes to my current one based on selection?
