Javascript to Validate Radio Buttons

Try this: (untested just made it)

<script language="text/javascript">
function allQuestionsAnswered() {
	radioElements = document.forms[0].radios;
	
	for (i=0; i<radioElements.length; i++) {
		if (!radioElements[i].checked)
			alert('Question ' + radioElements[i].name + ' has not been answered.');
	}
}
</script>

Select allOpen in new window

Here is a code snippit you can use as a function that is called and can be used for every question (just pass varaibles to it)

and then the text to call the function as well.

You will either have to code it for every question though or build a loop to call the function.

// call the function below
if (radialValidate(formPath.PropertyDescription, "Property Description", "Y")==false)	{return (false);	}		
 
 
 
//---------This makes sure a radial is checked for this question.
function radialValidate(question, quesNum, RequiredYN)  {
	// only need to see if "Y" here not if filled in also.
	if (RequiredYN == "Y"){
		for (i=0; i<question.length; i++) {
			if (question[i].checked) { 
				return(true);
			}		
		} //end of for statement
		alert("You need to select one checkbox for a " + quesNum);
		return(false);
	} // end if checking if required
}// end function

None of those 2 samples work guys.

Mine wont loop through the questions, you have to do it per question.  and for mine you would need to fill in the first line (to call the function).  You need to chnage the "formPath" to whatever your form path is I use a variable for this usually (sorry did not state this), like this:
var formPath = window.document.formname

Then the "PropertyDescription" part is replaced with whatever your field name is "QUestion1"

so more like this:
if (radialValidate(formPath.Question2, "Question2", "Y")==false)   {return (false);        }              
 
 
The second variable in the above function call is the name of the field you want to pop up in the alert box, and the 3rd value is if it is required or not.

Brad cheesr for that the values of the checkboxes are 1, 2 or 3 though how would that affect the code please?

Oh and can you give specifics on how this is all implemented with regards to the call from the HTML please? Im afraid im new to javascript!

Nice
