Hi,
I would like to enable the textbox according to selected radio button (these are located in node properties box). Normally, I would do this via **JQUERY** , but I have no idea how can I do this in Node-RED.
So in this case, if user selects **Local Name** and put some text on the text box, I will get that data in my {customnode.js} file.

Is this a custom contrib node you are developing?

then you can use JQuery (it is included with the node-red editor)
Better still, use the [typedInput widget](https://nodered.org/docs/api/ui/typedInput/) e.g...
_PS: I will move this thread to the correct forum category._

@Steve-Mcl Thanks. But it seems that radio buttons are not supported?
[Node edit dialog : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/edit-dialog). I can't see them here.

Of course they are supported, its just HTML + JQuery
However, if you want dynamic input capability (i.e. permitting the user to send the "name" in a msg property (like `msg.name` or `msg.payload`) then the "made for this purpose" `typedInput` is a much better solution.
