Havig Problems Referencing Controls on Page

Why does the following syntax generate an error that control is null or not an object?

document.form1.text3.value = "Steve";

Thanks! This works for my radio buttons except for those that are located within tabbedPanels. Is there some other qualifier I need to add to the code string to compensate for the tabbedPanel?

It is sure strange that the first two lines of this code work but the third one doesn't. Note the radio1 button group is located in a tabbedPanel.

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
	
function myControlValues(){
		
document.getElementById('form1').elements['form1:radio2'][1].checked=true;
document.getElementById('form1').elements['form1:radio1'][1].disabled=true;
document.getElementById('form1').elements['form1:radio1'][1].checked=true;
		
		
	}
</SCRIPT>

After doing some more checking and testing this is what I found out. If I put an alert() after the set checked on this is what happens.

I run the page. The radio button is not checked. I refresh the page. The radio button is checked and the alert appears. I click the ok on the alert and the radio button becomes unchecked. Note: This is only for the radio button located in the tabbedPannel.
