Set RadioButtons checked/unchecked with JavaScript

[Lindsay]

I read a previous post here to just change the CssClass of the label next to the radio button with JavaScript.  This works visually, but it does not set the checked state of the radio button itself.  So on postback, my radio button does not read as checked.

I saw in the changelog for Q3 2008 that this was changed.  But i do not see any information in the documentation as to how I can now "easily" set these values with JavaScript.  Little help here please?  =)

Also, I have another problem I'm not sure anyone can help me with... My subscription ran out and the last version I was able to download of the Telerik Asp.Net controls was Q1 2008.1.619.  The "free" RadFormDecorator installation told me it was installing ALL controls - so now that DLL contains "trial" versions for ALL the other controls.  Is it possible to have my valid 2008.1.619 AND the new RadFormDecorator Q3 2008?  I would hope so, since the RadFormDecorator Q3 2008 is being advertised as free...

Hi Lindsay,

Here is how you can check a button in a decorated radiobutton list - in addition to the actual radiobutton's check you will need to change the classes for the skinned elements as well:

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkRadioButton()
{

    //get the checked button
    var realRadio = $get("RadioButtonlist1_1");
    //get the decorated checked button
    var skinnedRadio = $get("_radfd_Skinned"+ realRadio.id);
    var radios = $get("RadioButtonlist1").getElementsByTagName("label");
    var i = 0;
    for (i<0; i<radios.length; i++)
    {
        radios[i].className = "Default radfdRadioUnchecked";

    }
    //change the class so the decorated button will look checked
    skinnedRadio.className = "Default radfdRadioChecked";
    //check the real button
    realRadio.checked = true;
}
</script>

        <telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="RadFormDecorator1" Visible="true" DecoratedControls="all"
            runat="server" />
        <asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonlist1" runat="server">
            <asp:ListItem Text="item1" Selected="true"></asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem Text="item2"></asp:ListItem>
        </asp:RadioButtonList>
        <button onclick="checkRadioButton(); return false;">
            check RadioButton 2</button>

As for your second question, I see that Paul has already answered your support ticket on the same subject. In short, the free version of RadFormDecorator is provided with trial versions of the other RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX since they are sharing a common assembly.
