    problem with onclick

    I have a function in the head section of a html and call it from a radio
    button with onClick="menu() ;" but IE tells me that the object doesnt support
    this method or property. What is the problem with that? I have tried
    numerous ways around it but to no avail.

    <head>
    function menu() {
    for (i=0;i<=2;i++) {
    if (document.menuf orm.menu[i].checked=="1") {
    parent.main.loc ation.href="doc ument.menuform. menu[i].value + '.html'" }
    }
    }
    </head>
    <body>
    <form name="menuform" >
    <radio name="form" value="news" onClick="menu() ;">
    </body>

    Thank you for your help,
    -Dave

      No <script> tags
      No closing </form>
      <radio must be <input type="radio"
      menuform.menu must be menuform.form, but
      do not use as a name "form", it is reserved
      ..checked is boolean

      =============== =======

      simplified, this works:

      <script>
      function menu() {
      if (document.menuf orm.myform.chec ked)
      alert(document. menuform.myform .value + '.html')
      }
      </script>

      <body>
      <form name="menuform" >
      <input type="radio" name="myform" value="news" onClick="menu() ;">
      News
      </form>
      </body>

          Re: problem with onclick

          Sorry, I was quickly writing some tags in as a reference that isnt the
          actual code, so most of your points are already covered, and im guessing the
          ..checked should work both ways. See I have used my function as a
          href="javascrip t: menu();" and it works exactly how I planned it to.
          I just re-read that post and realised how many errors I made, pity my first
          post didnt actually send as it was much more in depth and accurate *sigh*...
          anyway, here is the exact code I have, sorry.

          <HTML>
          <HEAD>
          <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
          <!--
          function menu() {
          for (i=0;i<=2;i++) {
          if (document.menuf orm.menu[i].checked=="1") {
          parent.main.loc ation.href="doc ument.menuform. menu[i].value + '.html'" }
          }
          }
          //--!>
          </SCRIPT>
          </HEAD>
          <BODY>
          <FORM NAME="menuform" >
          <INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="menu" VALUE="news" onClick=""><A HREF="javascrip t:
          menu()" onMouseOver="do cument.menuform .menu[0].checked='1'">N ews</A><BR>
          <INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="menu" VALUE="new" onClick=""><A HREF="javascrip t:
          menu()" onMouseOver="do cument.menuform .menu[1].checked='1'">n ew</A><BR>
          </FORM>
          </BODY>
          </HTML>

              note to above post... mistake

              I forgot I had taken the error out of my html file so the onClicks are empty
              as you can see... however they WERE...
              <INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="menu" VALUE="news" onClick="menu() ;">

              Hey its 3am, im allowed to make mistakes at this time of the morning *yawn*
              stupid brain wake up!
              Thanks

                      Nope, that didnt fix it... the error is on line 27 which is the <INPUT
                      TYPE="RADIO"... line and says Object doesn't support this property or
                      method. I at first thought that meant the .value but as I said it works fine
                      in a href="javascrip t: menu();" call
