Hi

Better tell us your goal. For now your code is quite confusing for me, and I am sure as visitor I would find its behavior confusing too.

select elements have no checked property.
Disabling two controls on each others events usually breaks some functionality.

Just as a matter of readability

CODE --> JavaScript

// instead of this
if (this.checked) document.getElementById('gender').disabled=true; else document.getElementById('gender').disabled = false;

// personally I prefer this
document.getElementById('gender').disabled=this.checked

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I have added your code and works fine (except on IE 9). Here's what I was trying to do:

Basically it just disables if the menu if marked. I just want to make it work on IE9. I also use PHP to reinforce it but still nice to have the JS working on IE9.
