javascript upload object

<input checked type=""radio"" id=""PF"" name=""rdopaymenttype"" value=""4"">Nothing
<input checked type=""radio"" id=""PF"" name=""rdopaymenttype"" value=""5"">Upload

How can I do the following in javascript? Thanks

if the rdopaymenttype == 5 Then
<form action="abc.asp" enctype=multipart/form-data>
else
<form action="xyz.asp">
End if

have a name to the form and then you can call the form from javascript. Then you can change action using some code like below

NOTE: This is just an example

function chgAction( action_name )
{
if( action_name=="aaa" ) {
document.forms[0].action = "/AAA";
}
else if( action_name=="bbb" ) {
document.forms[0].action = "/BBB";
}
else if( action_name=="ccc" ) {
document.forms[0].action = "/CCC";
}
}

change the form action to action="myscript(this)"

then the function inthe js would be:

function myscript(x)
{
   if (x.rdopaymenttype[0].checked)
   {
      x.action='abc.asp';
      x.enctype='multipart/form-data';
   {
   else
   {
   x.action='xyz.asp';
   x.enctype='text/plain';
   }
   x.submit();
}

Here is the code to deal with this

<html>
<head>
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
</head>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
    
    update_form_attributes();
    
    $("input[name=rdopaymenttype]").click(function(){
      update_form_attributes();
    });
    
  });
  
  function update_form_attributes()
  {
     if($("input[name=rdopaymenttype]:checked").val() == "5")
     {
        $("form").attr("action","abc.asp").attr("enctype","multipart/form-data");
     }
     else
     {
       $("form").attr("action","xyz.asp");
       $("form").removeAttr("enctype");
     }
  }
</script>
<body>
  

<form>
  <input type="radio" id="PF"  name="rdopaymenttype" checked   value="4">Nothing
<input type="radio" id="PF"  name="rdopaymenttype"   value="5">Upload
  </form>
</body>
</html>

<form id='myform' enctype='multipart/form-data'> is not supposed to be there as default.
because if first radio is selected, it will not be any upload there. remember, if it is 4, then
it acts normal like http post, when it is 5, it show browse button to allow upload.

Thanks

Rob

ok so the html goes back to:

<form id='myform'>
    <label for='PF1'>Nothing</label>
    <input checked type="radio" id="PF1" name="rdopaymenttype" value="4" />
    <label for='PF2'>Upload</label>
    <input checked type="radio" id="PF2" name="rdopaymenttype" value="5" />
</form>

Open in new window

and the javascript is slightly changed to:

window.onload = function() {

    var pf1 = document.getElementById('PF1');
    var pf2 = document.getElementById('PF2');
    var myform = document.getElementById('myform');
    pf1.onclick = function() {
        myform.setAttribute('action','xyz.asp');
        myform.removeAttribute('enctype');
    }
    pf2.onclick = function() {
        myform.setAttribute('action','abc.asp');
        myform.setAttribute('enctype','multipart/form-data');
    }
}
