It works fine in IE. Any advice?

<option value="red" >Red</option>
<option value="blue" >Blue</option>
<option value="green" >Green</option>

<p><input name="number" type="radio" id="1" value="1" onclick="radioSend(this)" />1</p>
<p><input name="number" type="radio" value="2" id="2" onclick="radioSend(this)" />2</p>
<p><input name="number" type="radio" value="3" id="3" onclick="radioSend(this)"/>3 </p>
</form>

In the function radioSend you refer to form1 as follows:
Code:
...
var cIndex = form1.color.selectedIndex;
...
IE is being "nice" and letting this (incorrect) reference to the form work. No biggie... the trick is to refer to the form a little more specifically:
Code:
...
var cIndex = [!]document.forms['[/!]form1[!]'][/!].color.selectedIndex;
...
Let us know how you go.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
