validateExpression on Radio button group

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject: validateExpression on Radio button group

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Designer on Eclipse (DDE)

Technical Area: Functionality

Platform: Windows XP client

Release: 8.5.1

Reproducible: Always

I have two date fields and a radio button group on my Xpage. If a value is selected from the radio button group, which is not a required field, the values of the two date fields should be the same. I added a validateExpression to the radio button group to check that this was the case. Here's my expression...

var from = getComponent("dateFrom").getValue();
var to = getComponent("dateTo").getValue();

if (value == "AM" | value == "PM") {
return from==to
}

This works when the user selects a value from the radio button group and the dateFrom and dateTo are different. I get my friendly custom error. However, if I subsequently make my dates the same the error is still thrown. I've tried using getSubmittedValue, but that's null. Has anyone got any ideas? My source code is below so that you can have a go.
