go to page based on option checked

clientuser · Sep 6, 2004

i have two radio buttons and a submit button on a form.

i want it so that when the user selects one of the radio buttons and pushes the submit button, it will take them to the page based on the radio button selected.

the javascript code i came up with is:

Code:

function checkradio(){
if (request.getParameter("R1").equals("V1")) {
 response.redirect "subscribe.asp"
 error=1;
 return false;

 }
else
if (request.getParameter("R1").equals("V2")) {
 response.redirect "unsubscribe.asp"
 error=1;
 return false;
}
else
  return true;
}

but i am just learning javascript .......

any suggestions?

Here's an example. You should be able to implement the function in the code below with no problems...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
	<title>Untitled</title>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function redir() {
	var the_loc = '';
	for (var i = 0; i < document.the_form.radio1.length; i++) {
		if (document.the_form.radio1[i].checked) {
			the_loc = document.the_form.radio1[i].value;
		}
	}
	document.location.href = the_loc;
}
-->
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form action="" name="the_form" id="the_form">
<input type="radio" name="radio1" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com/">Google<br>[/URL]
<input type="radio" name="radio1" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo!<br>[/URL]
<input type="button" name="go_there" value="Go" onclick="redir();">
</form>

</body>
</html>

Hope this helps...

can you use selectedIndex for radio buttons? if so, you can make this even shorter

Nope. selectedIndex is only for SELECT objects.
