I am a newbie to javascript and have written the following code to make sure that users have checked a radio button. It is set to work on submit. The form is generated by php and has approx 70 options; users may select one. I am not even sure if the script is being processed because if I test it by submitting without checking a button, the program tries to load the next page without passing a superglobal, and of course I get a php error: "Notice: Undefined index: item in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\dap\subtypemenu.php on line 24".
Is there something obvious in my code that is preventing it from executing? Thanks so much in advance for your help.

<script language='JavaScript 1.2'>
function submitIt(form)
{
myOption = -1
for (i=0; i<document.prodsearch.item.length; i++)
{
if (document.prodsearch.item[i].checked)
{
myOption = i
}
if (myOption == -1)
{
alert("You must make a selection.")
return false
}
return true
}</script> •

hi,
Post your html code also or atleast describe what is prodsearch, and other var used in javaScript.
One more important thing, dont rely upon javaScript alone for validation, write server side equivalent code for that, as any one can alter your JavaScript code and send wrong info to server.

Hi Danger,
Sorry about the omission; I am still new to this. I don't have html pages per se, they are generated on the fly by php. But here is the php that makes up prodsearch.php, and below that, I have added the main include, aniprod.php.
prodsearch.php
aniprod.php
Thank you so much; I appreciate you looking at my code.
