Guys I was also struggling with this problem (Using jQuery to hide/show a Panel when user clicks on a value on the RadioButtonList) and searched many posts and found no answer but I was able to make it work here's how I did...
My code is as follows:
<div>
<p class="space">3.2. ACCOMMODATION (*)</p>
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="accomodation" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatLayout="Flow" Width="500px">
<asp:ListItem Text="Not Required" Value="Not Required"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="Required" Value="Required"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
<asp:Panel ID="PanelAccommodation" runat="server">
<p>
Number of nights (*):
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator12" runat="server" ControlToValidate="numberOfNights" ForeColor="red" ErrorMessage="<- Required"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<asp:TextBox ID="numberOfNights" runat="server" Width="50px"></asp:TextBox>
<ajaxToolkit:FilteredTextBoxExtender ID="FilteredTextBoxExtender1" TargetControlID="numberOfNights"
FilterType="Numbers" runat="server">
</ajaxToolkit:FilteredTextBoxExtender>
<p>Preferred Hotel:</p>
<asp:TextBox ID="preferredHotel" runat="server" Width="450px"></asp:TextBox>
<p>Preferred Hotel URL:</p>
<asp:TextBox ID="preferredHotelURL" runat="server" Width="450px"></asp:TextBox>
</asp:Panel>
</div>
and the jquery function I used:
<pre lang="Javascript">$(document).ready(function () {
$("#MainContent_PanelAccommodation").hide("fast");
$('#<%= accomodation.ClientID%>').find('input:radio').click(function () {
var selVal = $('#<%= accomodation.ClientID %>').find('input:checked').val();
if (selVal == "Required") {
$("#MainContent_PanelAccommodation").show("fast");
}
if (selVal == "Not Required") {
$("#MainContent_PanelAccommodation").hide("fast");
}
})
});
notice that the ID on the jquery has "MainContent" while that ID on the HTML doesn't this is because if you inspect your code and look for your panel it will also probably show and ID similar to MainContent_PanelAccommodation since it inherits from:
<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
Hope this helps people struggling with the same problem...
