Hi,

You can try this code

<script language = "javascript">

function CheckRadioList()
 {
  var grp = document.forms[0].elements["BtnList1"];
  var x, len = grp.length;
 for (x=0; x<len; x++) 
   {
    if (!grp[x].checked) break;
    return true;
  }
  if (x < len) 
   {
    window.alert("radio button not checked.");
    return false;
   }

</script>

Than you a lot

i understand the idea

but how can i write this variable

var grp = document.forms[0].elements["BtnList1"];


this is not available
document.forms[0].elements["BtnList1"];

it gives me an error

What is the name given to your radio buttons in the form?

You need to make it the same name as referred to in the javascript :-$

<input type=radio name="btnlist1" >

If ALL your radio buttons have the same name you will have created an array, which will work with the code given above.

You need to loop through this array in some way shape or form, whether its with javascript or with vbscript using the submitted data from the form.

That is how you can check them all.

Radio buttons are indice based because as jeffstl said they're basically an array of values if all of the buttons have the same object name.
So you have to refer to them by their indice.

document.forms[0].elements['BtnList1'] is just an object, it has no value. To get a value, or whether an item is checked or not, you need to refer to the particular item in the radio list array.

EG:
[code=javascript]
document.forms[0].elements['BtnList1'](0).value;
document.forms[0].elements['BtnList1'](0).checked;
//etc
//That will refer specifically to the first radio button within the BtnList1 radio button group and refer to its value and whether it is checked or not, respecively.
[/code]

Save the code below to a new .html file and run it in your browser to get a better feel of this.

[code=html]
<script>
function doCheck(i) {
alert(document. forms[0].elements['BtnList1'](i).value + ' ' + document.forms[0].elements['BtnList1'](i).checked);
}
</script>
<form name="whatever" >
<input type="radio" name="BtnList1" value="0" onclick="doChec k(0)">
<input type="radio" name="BtnList1" value="1" onclick="doChec k(1)">
<input type="radio" name="BtnList1" value="2" onclick="doChec k(2)">
<input type="radio" name="BtnList1" value="3" onclick="doChec k(3)">
<input type="radio" name="BtnList1" value="4" onclick="doChec k(4)">
<input type="radio" name="BtnList1" value="5" onclick="doChec k(5)">
<input type="radio" name="BtnList1" value="6" onclick="doChec k(6)">
</form>
[/code]

Hi
Thank you all I understand what you said and I try it

But I want to use RadioButtonList
Not <input type="radio" name="BtnList1" >

Because my page will be for evaluation
Then for every Quest there is many choises.. so I used RadioButtonList

I tried to do what you tell me.. but I get some error
Becouse I don’t know how to creat an array for RadioButtonList
And do (loop to check them)


OR I must use input type="radio" to use arry ???

Ah i see, so you're using .net - You have to be specific of the technologies you're using. ASP is not asp.net - they are very different and the experts in this forum are proficient with classic asp, we generally know little about .net programming - so you'll find it difficult to get the help you require.

However, I know enough to fake my way around a bit.. so I'll try to give you a hand.

You'll need to do something like: This is of course in Visual Basic.

[code=asp]
Sub CheckRadio(s As Object, e As EventArgs)
If Request.Form("B tnList1") Is Nothing Or Request.Form("B tnList1") = "" Then
YourLabel.Text = "You did not select an item from the radio button list control!"
Else
YourLabel.Text = "You selected the following... " & BtnList1.Select edIndex.Text
End If
End Sub
[/code]

Yes, you'll have to do that for all of them. Or, you can try something like this but i'm not entirely certain how this will work in .net

[code=asp]
Sub CheckRadio(s As Object, e As EventArgs)
For Each oItem As Object In Request.Form
If Request.Form(oI tem) Is Nothing Or Request.Form(oI tem) = "" Then
YourLabel.Text = "You did not select an item from the radio button list control!"
Else
YourLabel.Text = "You selected the following... " & oItem.SelectedI ndex.Text
End If
Next
End Sub
[/code]

And call this sub onSubmit. Or if you want to test it try calling it OnClick of the radiolistcontro l to see what you get.

Here is a reference: (look at the displayMessage( ) Sub)

http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/showasp.asp?filename=demo_arraylist_radio1

If this still doesn't help.. I will have a mod move this thread to the .net forums where the resident experts there will be able to help you more than we can.

Mark

Hi ...

I don't understand what you do :S

but that what i did (as you told me)
and it works :)


<script>
function doCheck() {

var i , ch= -1 ;
for (i=0; i<5 && ch==-1 ; i++)
{
if(document.for ms[0].elements['BtnList1'](i).checked)
{
ch=1;
alert("You checked "+document.form s[0].elements['BtnList1'](i).value+" "+ch);
}
else
{
alert("You DON'T checked "+document.form s[0].elements['BtnList1'](i).value+" "+ch);
}
}

if(ch== -1)
{
("warning an exsist (label) by red")
}
}
</script>




what i want know

Q: How to change the (color to red) of label of the question that is unchecked !!
coz labels is undefined in my script !!! i dont't know why??

and what type of script that i have to use according to this script ??


thanks again

[markrawlingson]

I'm not sure how to do this in .net but I'm thinking it's probably something like..

[code=asp]
If Request.Form("B tnList1") Is Nothing Or Request.Form("B tnList1") = "" Then
LabelControl.Co lor = 'red'
End If
[/code]

In javascript, it's:

[code=javascript]
document.getEle mentById('Label tocolorRed').st yle.color = 'red'
[/code]

Code: ( javascript ):

document.getEle mentById('Label 1').style.color = 'red'

it works
but the label ... return to black after one second ... I don't know why :S
How can i keep red ... ???



Thank you :)

[markrawlingson]

That's wierd :P

Show your code so we can help determine why it's changing back to black.
