Trying to unhide a panel based on a value of a radio button

I have a custom control with a bunch of radio buttons.  When the user selects Yes or No, I want to un-hide some fields without refreshing the entire page.  So I put a panel control before a table row.  The problem is when I select the radio button to unhide the panel I get the following error since it is not rendered yet.
 
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

The panel you are trying to show is not rendered (because it is hidden). So it can not be refreshed.
 
Add another panel outside of the hidden panel and then refresh the outer panel.

The problem was that he could reference the ID of the hidden panel because it didn't exist yet. simply refresh a parent of the panel instead.
 
for example 
 
<xp:panel id="panel1"> 
    <xp:panel id="panel2" rendered="#{javascript:viewScope.example}">   // example is false
    ...... 
    </xp:panel>  
</xp:panel> 
 
in this situation you can't change viewScope.example and refresh panel2 because it doesn't exist, modify example and refresh panel1
