jscript if statement

I need to redirect to a differnt thank you page at the end of a booking process based on a variable called yes_no. The variable is displayed fine in the HTML see fist line with %yes_no% and displays as 'yes' on the final page but when I try to convert this to a form that can be used in javascript I cannot get the variable to be assigned this value correctly. Anyone know the syntax I should be using. See below for what I have tried...

No worries. I tried assigning paymethod with both document.getElementById('YesNo').val(); and document.getElementById('YesNo').innerhtml(); but the value didn't take even though it displays as innerhtml.

Any ideas why? - http://elearning.ahead.ie/forms/signup/signup.php

<script type="text/javascript">
var paymethod = document.getElementById('YesNo').innerhtml(); 
var test2 = "Test2";
window.alert(test2);

window.alert(paymethod);

if (paymethod == "yes")
{
window.alert("Paypal");
  document.write("Paypal");
}
else
{
window.alert("Invoice");
 document.write("Invoice");
}

Thanks for that () removed. Any idea why paymethod var is undefined though. I have assigned it's value and defined it.
