Radio Buttons

[Chandar Vel]

Hello All
How do I de-select the radio button. Basically i have two radio buttons with the same name (same group). Once the page(form) is loaded in the browser both the radio buttons are unselected. But after the user clicks one of the radio button, that becomes enabled. Is it possible for me to programatically de-select (in the sense both the radio buttons should not appear to be selected as it was when the page was loaded).
Appreciate your help....
Thanks a bunch

Hi
The code below does not select any radio button.
<p><input type="radio" value="V1" name="R1">Yes</p>
<p><input type="radio" value="V2" name="R1">No</p>
But the code below selects the 'Yes' radio button because the checked parameter has been added to the 'Yes'.
<p><input type="radio" value="V1" name="R1" checked>Yes</p>
<p><input type="radio" value="V2" name="R1">No</p>
So if you do not add the 'checked' to any of the radio buttons, none of them will be selected when the form loads.

to do it the way you want to, in your code use this:
document.formName.groupName[index].checked = false;
formName is the name of the form that the two buttns are on, groupName would be the name of the two buttons you have, and index is either 0 or 1 for the first or second button.
