    Cannot check a radio button in IE.

    This code works in Firefox but not IE8. The innerHTML shows IE is not giving the radio buttons names making them uncheckable. Is there a workaround or fix? Thanks.
    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
function main()
{
  var bodyObj, radObj;
  bodyObj = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];

  radObj = document.createElement("input");
  radObj.type = "radio";
  radObj.name = "wr1";
  radObj.id = "wr1a";
  radObj.value = "a";
  bodyObj.appendChild(radObj);
alert("name: "+radObj.name+", id: "+radObj.id+", value: "+radObj.value);

  radObj = document.createElement("input");
  radObj.type = "radio";
  radObj.name = "wr1";
  radObj.id = "wr1b";
  radObj.value = "b";
  bodyObj.appendChild(radObj);
alert("name: "+radObj.name+", id: "+radObj.id+", value: "+radObj.value);

alert(bodyObj.innerHTML);
}
</script>

<html><body onload="main()">
</body></html>

      IE is know to have some problems assigning certain properties correctly, try Element.setAttr ibute()

          Thanks. I tried setAttribute, but the name still isn't taking. I should've added that consequential nonfunctionalit y is actually happening more in IE7 rather than 8. 8 seems to maybe be working even without a name, but 7 is useless. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of computers that at least for the time being will continue to have IE7 only on them and it'll create a fair amount of inconvenience for a bunch of people if my app can't run on them.
