Your function Res() is incorrect, firstly there is no element named "opinion", so the function is failing on the first line:

opinion.value="";

Your code to "reset" the radio buttons is correct but you need to reset all of them, currently you are only resetting one

document.getElementById("op1").checked=false;

, for three radio buttons it is fine to do them individually, but if u have more it would be better to loop through the buttons and reset them.

Try this:

document.getElementById("op1").checked=false;
	  document.getElementById("op2").checked=false;
	  document.getElementById("op3").checked=false;

Here my script I tried now :

<script type="text/javascript"">
function Reset()
{
opinion.value="what to improve insert your opinion";
document.getElementById("op1").checked=false;
document.getElementById("op2").checked=false;
document.getElementById("op3").checked=false;
}
</script>

and this is a <body>

<form action="mailto:meerovichsergey@gmail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

<fieldset>


<legend>Your opinion</legend>
<input type="radio" name="choice" id="op1" value="All was perfect ,answer to all question."   >&nbsp All was perfect ,answer to all question.<br/>
<input type="radio" name="choice" id="op2" value="Arcticle is good,but there are a things to improve." >&nbsp Arcticle is good,but there are a things to improve.<br/>
<input type="radio" name="choice" id="op3" value="Arcticle doesn't answer my questions" >&nbsp Arcticle doesn't answer my questions.<br/>



</fieldset>
</form >

<p align="center"><input type="text"  id="opinion" onmouseover="Show()" value="what to improve insert your opinion" title="enter text about this arcticle" tabindex="1" maxlength="90"size="100"/>
<p align="center"><input type="submit" name="send2" value="Send" onclick="Send()" title="Press to send information" onclick="Reset();"  onfocus="Show()" size="10">&nbsp&nbsp <input type="reset" name="reset2" value="Reset" title="Press to Reset information" size="10"/></p>

Hi polo,

im not sure, if this is what you intend to do, but this might help you out, to shorten the lines inside your code and as wel as making the code to work in other modes of browsers.
