I am trying to validate selestions for test questions. In my form the questions may have up to five choices a-e. The actual field is referenced as answer#currentrow#. I want to make sure all of the questions have been answered. Everytime I try to run my form is submitted i get the JAVASCRIPT ERROR that document.form has no properties.

PLEASE HELP, ALOHA!

This might be alittle late but try using <cfform> and use <cfinput name=&quot;nnn&quot; required=&quot;yes&quot; message=&quot;Please fill in value for the name&quot;> The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked

CF808,

if you want to access a form without a name, use this syntax:

document.forms[0]

so your code should be:
if(document.forms[0].answer[index].type == &quot;radio&quot;)

hope this helps.
======================================

if (!succeed) try();
