Hello everyone!
I have a problem getting the value of the radio input I added in a form. I have constructed the following form:
I managed to get the value from the text fields by referring to the following lines of code:
var part1 = this.form.part1.value;
var part2 = this.form.part2.value;
var partrev1 = this.form.partrev1.value;
var partrev2 = this.form.partrev2.value;
With this I can get the values from the text field, where the "Name" fields are configured as "part1", "part2", etc. Therefore I tried the same with the radio input. The name field is set to "compare_base" and when I try to get the value from the radio input, it returns null/undefined:
var radio = this.form.compare_base.value;
RESULT: Event handler failed with message: TypeError: srcElement.form.compare_base is undefined
I also looked up the generated HTML code. The radio input has a method handleItemChange("compare_base", this.value) and this method is called on select a assume. The value property itself has the right value in the HTML code and therefore should set the right value to "compare_base".
I also tried to get the value with document.getElementByName("column_base") and still no result.
I am really having trouble getting the value from the input. Is there a formal way to get it? I also tried different searches in the document to get the value - like document.getXXYY.

We use an OnChange event in the form to capture when the value changes
Here is the code we use to get the value of the radio button
var thisItem = document.thisItem;
var compare_base= thisItem.getProperty("compare_base");
