Moderators may move threads if they have been posted in the incorrect forum.

Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting
Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.
When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.
The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.
When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.
A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.
If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.
When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.
Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

Re: Dynamic label
In the radio's onClick, you would put something like:
Code:myVal = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.D.V.R1.POSITION.1').checked; if (myVal) { $('{Grid.ComponentName}.D.LBL.R1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Sold'; } else { $('{Grid.ComponentName}.D.LBL.R1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Bought'; }

Re: Dynamic label
Have you tried simply copying the above code and placing it in the onClick (same place shown in your attached images)?
You may need to tweak the order of the text labels like below, but I think it should work otherwise (no js experience required!):
Code:myVal = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.D.V.R1.POSITION.1').checked; if (myVal) { $('{Grid.ComponentName}.D.LBL.R1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Bought'; } else { $('{Grid.ComponentName}.D.LBL.R1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Sold'; }

Re: Dynamic label
A marvelous site (good and no cost) to learn and experiment with javascript is http://www.w3schools.com/ .
The "try it" option they have is a great place to not only see a working sample, but to kick the tires until
you're brave enough to try it on your own.Gregg
https://paiza.io is a great site to test and share sql code

Re: Dynamic label
Andy, correct it is a grid, but using the Form(columnar) option and no detail view, and I did try your code as a cut and paste solution, but it did'nt work, if I look in firebug, I also have to use ...LBL.R-1. and I have also tried that without luck, but thanks anyway.
Thank for the link Greg I will dwell into that

Re: Dynamic label
Jim,
You only need to view the browser source to see what the input ID's look like. You would have also seen this in Firebug.
Therefore, as it is a form grid, your code will look like (note I only had to remove the .D) :
Code:myVal = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.V.R1.POSITION.1').checked; if (myVal) { $('{Grid.ComponentName}.LBL.R1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Bought'; } else { $('{Grid.ComponentName}.LBL.R1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Sold'; }

Re: Dynamic label
Now it almost work, i used your code from the laste reply, but still no change, but I could se in firebug that the reference was R-1 and not R1, so I changed the code to this:
myVal = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.LBL.R-1.POSITION.1').checked;
if (myVal)
{
$('{Grid.ComponentName}.LBL.R-1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Bought';
} else {
$('{Grid.ComponentName}.LBL.R-1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Sold';
}

Re: Dynamic label
Jim,
While it will be worthwhile to know how to dynamically change a "label", the way I see it, perhaps you should be considering reworking your database schema to accommodate this result. Because what you are "really" wanting to do here, is change the column name, the field name, in the database table; generally not a good thing
Cheers!

Re: Dynamic label
Existing row elements would have names like .R1, .R5, etc. meaning Row 1, Row 5 etc.
New rows get a row number of -1.
Thus .R-1 means you are entering a new row.
View the HTML source and check to make sure you have a label named '{Grid.ComponentName}.LBL.R-1.POSITION.1'
The problem seems to be that myVal is not being set.
Try:
var myVal = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.V.R1.POSITION.1').checked;
alert(myVal);

Re: Dynamic label
Lyle, I don't disagree with you, but this is due to a new request from then customer on an existing live application, and to start changing the database schema now would be a huge task, and the customer ofcourse only want a five minute fix, because 'how difficult can it be to change a label'.
Andy, I will give it a try tomorrow but I am closing down for today now�.

Re: Dynamic label
Ok, now I got it to work, and you were right all the way Andy, this is the code:
myVal = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.V.R-1.POSITION.1').checked;
if (myVal)
{
$('{Grid.ComponentName}.LBL.R-1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Bought';
} else {
$('{Grid.ComponentName}.LBL.R-1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Sold';
}
myVal = $('{Grid.ComponentName}.D.V.R1.POSITION.1').checked;
if (myVal)
{
$('{Grid.ComponentName}.D.LBL.R1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Bought';
} else {
$('{Grid.ComponentName}.D.LBL.R1.USDBOUGHT').innerHTML = 'USD Sold';
}
