Im not a 100% sure if i understood your code but if Hday is a radio button, that reference to Hday.value shouldn’t work. To my understanding radio buttons don’t have a ‘value’ property. Anyway since you simple want to check a radio button with a simple yes or no option, i would just validate the answer using the indexes directly, where if you entered ‘Yes’ first it would be index 0 and ‘No’ would be 1:

myRadioField = document.forms[0].radiofieldname;

fieldTovalidate = document.forms[0].fieldTovalidatename;

if(myRadioField[0].checked) //answer is yes

if (fieldTovalidate.value == ‘’) return false;

else

if (myRadioField[1].checked) //answer is No

Radio buttons certainly do have a value property – but document.forms[i].FieldName will return an ARRAY of radio buttons, not a single object, and the array doesn’t have a .value property. When you loop through the array to check the checked status of each of the elements, you can get the .value of the checked element and assign it to a variable declared outside of the loop for later use.

Or you can use this function I posted a while back. The function will return an array of values from any field type – handy for those times when a field may be one type when the document is in one state and another type under different circumstances (like a radio button one time and a hidden type another time). To get a string from the array, simple use the join() function.
