how to see if radiobutton is checked?

Hi,

I have several radiobuttons named reporttype but only one of them is checked
and so I wonder if there's any way to detect which one it is or get the value of
the one that is.
Sure, I can do this....

if (document.myform.reporttype[0].checked = true)
result = document.myform.reporttype[0].value;

...but isn't there a cleverer way than iterating each radiobutton named reporttype?

Hope to hear from you soon,

Use a for loop: http://www.google.com/search?num=20...+button&spell=1
Not sure what else you are expecting to do?

Well, I was hoping it had some sort of getWhichRadiobuttonOfNameXXThatIsChecked()
but okay it IS only javascript

sorry for botherting you guys,

You can give all your buttons unique id's, and use getElementById() to see if a button is checked, but unfortunately there isn't any function that can immediately return the index of the selected button. That's a good idea though.
