Radio button that works

[Waldorf-Techie]

I am having a problem with Glowscript, which transpiles Python to Javascript through rapydscript.

Oddly, radio buttons in Glowscript do not function as radio buttons (selecting one does not deselect the others), and it appears this is because the transpiler does not use the built-in Javascript radio button functionality, but instead uses something called ρσ_interpolate_kwargs (???) to generate the button. What ρσ_interpolate_kwargs establishes as a radio button does not operate as one.

I don't know why Rapydscript doesn't just use the Javascript radio button functionality, but there is probably some good reason...

Great program, by the way!

Example code produced:
PYTHON CODE:
radio(bind=R, text='Runradio', name="RDO")
JAVASCRIPT GENERATED:
ρσ_interpolate_kwargs.call(this, radio, [ρσ_desugar_kwargs({bind: R, text: "Runradio", name: "RDO"})]);

There is no function named radio(). And interpolate_kwargs is how all functions with keyword arguments are handled. If you want to create a radio button in rapydscript you do it exactly like you would in javascript with docuent.createElement.

Thanks. Do you know why the resulting radio button does not act like a radio button, i.e. why selecting one does not deselect the others in the names group?

Read the MDN documentation for radio buttons and how to make a group of them.

I am working in Glowscript. I cannot determine the transcription of the radio button, but it doesn’t work properly.

Sorry, to be clear, I am using Glowscript in Vpython mode, as I am teaching Python at a school. On Tue, Dec 7, 2021 at 9:33 PM Harlan Gilbert ***@***.***> wrote:
