Cookies, Forms and Netscape OH MY!!

I have a form (ratingsForm) that contains a group of radio buttons (ratingsGroup) of which I want to store the value of in a variable. I assume that the following syntax is correct:

var ratingsValue = document.ratingsForm.ratingsGroup.value;

However, whenever I try and run this, I always get the following from the javascript debugger window (in NS):

document.ratingsForm has no properties.

Um ... anyone have any suggestions?

So NS does not even know the form is there? Check your syntax to make sure there is form tags, and they are in the right place.

Ok, it took myself and another programmer a bit to work out, but we got it. Basically, the way I had to reference it was as an ARRAY like this:

document.forms[0].ratingsGroup[0].value

That would get me the value of the first radio button in the group. Confusing, but it does work.
