One problem I'm having is that The script in this HTML doesn't see the control called "gender" and always read's its value as "undefined". A previous posting which is gone now had some good advice.
The other problem is that I had a thread started here and I'm not sure if I put it in the wrong forum or what but it's gone. So PLEASE, if this posting violates a rule let me know, I'm new at this!
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="actualValue" SIZE=40> should be "M" or "F" </INPUT><BR><P>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="gender" value="M" checked>Male<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="gender" value="W">Female<BR><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="myButt" value = "Click to see radio button value" onClick=myFunction()></INPUT>
</BODY>
</FORM>
<SCRIPT>
function myFunction()
{
document.forms[0].actualValue.value = document.forms[0].gender.value;
// should be "M" or "F" but it's "undefined"
}
</SCRIPT>
