Differential page display: having trouble with radio button driving section visibility

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="BLOCKNOTE.NET">BODY { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } P { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } DIV { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } TD { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt }
I'm trying to do a dynamic page section like Jon outlined here, but I'm having trouble.
 
I want a user to select a radio, and then display a page section based on that value. I can get the section to render based on the conditional, but I can't get it to change when the radio button is changed. I'm clearly missing something.
 
Here is my radio:
<apex:actionRegion >        
  <apex:outputPanel >        
    <apex:outputLabel value="Apply Opportunity To" for="oppApplicantSelect"/>        
    <apex:selectRadio id="oppApplicantSelect" value="{!oppApplicant}">
      <apex:selectOption itemValue="Contact" itemLabel="Contact"/>
      <apex:selectOption itemValue="Organization" itemLabel="Organization"/>
      <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="orgSection" status="status"/>
    </apex:selectRadio>
    <apex:actionStatus startText="applying value...{!oppApplicant}" id="status"/>
  </apex:outputPanel>
</apex:actionRegion>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="GENERATOR" content="BLOCKNOTE.NET">
BODY { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } P { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } DIV { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } TD { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt }
and here is the part of the page I want to render:

<apex:pageBlock title="Organization info" id="orgSection"  rendered="{!oppApplicant == 'Organization'}">
  <apex:outputLabel value="Organization" for="accountField"/>
  <apex:inputField id="accountField" value="{!opportunity.AccountId}"/>
  <apex:outputText value="{!oppApplicant}"/>
</apex:pageBlock>

 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="GENERATOR" content="BLOCKNOTE.NET">
BODY { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } P { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } DIV { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } TD { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } In my controller I've got a String set up to catch the Radio values:
Code:
public String oppApplicant { get {return oppApplicant;} set {oppApplicant = value;} }

 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="GENERATOR" content="BLOCKNOTE.NET">
BODY { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } P { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } DIV { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } TD { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } And in my constructor, I'm setting oppApplicant if I have a querystring variable:
Code:
if(ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('contactId')!=null) {
  oppApplicant = 'Contact';
} else {
  oppApplicant = 'Organization';
}

 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="GENERATOR" content="BLOCKNOTE.NET">
BODY { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } P { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } DIV { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } TD { FONT-FAMILY:Verdana; FONT-SIZE:10pt } I'll paste the full code of the controller and page below. Thanks for any help!

just a guess but what if you do this :



Code:
<apex:selectRadio id="oppApplicantSelect" value="{!oppApplicant}" rerender="orgSection" />

 
i just suspect your actionSupport is not calling any action, so it is not triggering a re-render

you may also need an action="{!blahblah}"  on selectRadio, so that the page has to call back to apex, blahblah can just return null;

rerender and action are not attributes on selectRadio -- they are not action components.

Steve I think your problem is that your trying to rerender something that does not exist on your page.  When you first load up your page, your pageBlock is not rendered, so when you try to find the id of the component you're supposed to rerender, it's not there.  You might want to try putting an outputPanel around your pageBlock and give the outputPanel the orgSection id, and leave the rendered attribute alone on your pageBlock.  That way it will rerender your outputPanel, and ask it to encode all of it's children again.

Make sense?

That was it Jill.

I created outputPanels that I rerender and had the fields inside that with the rendered= conditional.

thanks!
