    click() question


    I want to programatically force click a certain radio button named
    "fourdp".

    A click(fourdp) ; returns an undefined error.
    What am I doing wrong?

      html objects are in a distinct space from JavaScript objects. You have to use an
      accessor method like

      document.getEle mentById('fourd p').click();

      where fourdp is the id (not necessarily the name) of the element.

          If I try adding an ID="fourdp" etc to the radio buttons, the return
          error message is

          OBJECT DOESN'T SUPPORT THIS PROPERTY OR METHOD.

          Can a radio button have an ID?

              Sure they can. Make sure they each have a different id.

                  Finally worked it out.

                  form.hominydp.f ourdp.click() ;

                  apparently works properly
