Question

I need to change on the fly the class of an HTML element depending on the choice made by an user with a radio button but the problem is that I get the message

“Erreur : missing ) after argument list
Fichier Source : website
Ligne : 1, Colonne : 71
Code Source :
document.getElementById(‘jj_conjoint’).setAttribute(‘class’,’validate[‘required’]’);”.

my code :

<label>Husband/Wife :</label>
    <input type="radio" name="not_single" value="yes" onclick="document.getElementById('birthdate_partner').setAttribute('class','validate['required']');">yes
    <input type="radio" name="not_single" value="no" checked="checked">no


<select name="birthdate_partner" id="birthdate_partner">
   <option value="" selected="selected">-</option>
   <option value="1987" >1987</option>
   <option value="1986" >1986</option>
   <option value="1985" >1985</option>
   <option value="1984" >1984</option>
</select>

Answer 1

document.getElementById(birthdate_partner)

is referring to a variable called birthdate_partner. Instead, you should pass the ID as a string:

document.getElementById('birthdate_partner')

The variable birthdate_partner is never assigned to some value, so it is undefined, resulting in this being called:

document.getElementById(undefined)

which does not work.
