Totaling multiple radio buttons...
So I used to do a bit of programming about 100 years ago, and now I know just enough to get myself hurt while trying to do it. I was asked to do a couple of javascript quizzes for a project, and was able to produce them through a combination of sheer luck and a coursebook I still have from ~2001. I'm now working on a new one and have run into a wall, even though I know it should be a simple process.

I'm basically looking to make 12 sets of 4 radio buttons, each with a value of 1-4. At the bottom of the page there are 4 text boxes that I would like to keep a running total of all of the 1's, 2's, 3's and 4's as they are selected. I'm not having any luck. Anyone willing to take a stab?

Well, you need to start by producing legal HTML.
Code:
    <TR bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onMouseOver="this.bgColor='#B7EDFF';" onMouseOut="this.bgColor='#FFFFFF';">
        <TD><input name="sec11" value="1" type="radio">&nbsp;&nbsp;1
    <TR bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onMouseOver="this.bgColor='#B7EDFF';" 
...
You have no closing tag on your <TD>. You have no closing tag on your <TR>.

Much appreciated. I'll get back to hacking my way through stuff.
