Radio Button - AJAX - Problem with Passing Value

Sep 5th, 2008

Hello,

I am having problems retrieving correct values from two radio buttons in my AJAX script below.

The radio button values are either a 1 or 0 and always produces 0 regardless of which button is selected.

Once in AJAX, I can not have the script retreive a 1 or 0. AJAX script produces "[object HTMLInputElement]" as the response. Not sure what is going wrong.

Thanks in Advance.
Diego

This was just an example u wil have 2 replace all the value to the specific name of your radio buttons

var radioNames = [ 'radio1', 'search17' ];
for (var i = 0; i <= 1; i++) 
{ 
if (document.getElementById(radioNames).checked )
{ search17 = proc17.value; } 
}
var radioNames = [ 'radio1', 'search17' ];
for (var i = 0; i <= 1; i++) 
{ 
if (document.getElementById(radioNames).checked )
{ search17 = proc17.value; } 
}

but it would be nice if u can provide the exact name value of the two radio buttons.

Sorry if am bein hasty on that 1! Lets assume that you have 2 radio buttons with different name values!

var proc17 = document.getElementById(radioNames[i]); 
 if ( proc17.checked ) { search17 = proc17.value; }

I would like to help, but I guess I just don't understand what the real problem is ... my quickie write-up of you above code delivers both 1 and 0

What am I missing here?
