One radio button - Weird Error

[countdrak]

Does anyone know if the why

thisform.shipadd.length is undefined when I have only one radio button with the name shipadd.

I am trying to validate a radio button and My for loop doesnt work when I have only one radio button.

for (counter = 0; counter < thisform.shipadd.length; counter++)

Any help would be great. Thanks guys

Hi

In FireFox if you say :

alert(document.thisform.shipadd)

will show "[highlight #eee][object HTMLInputElement][/highlight]".

So there is no [tt]lenght[/tt] because there is no [tt]Array[/tt] or [tt]HTMLCollection[/tt].

Test it before using :

if (thisform.shipadd.length)
for (counter = 0; counter < thisform.shipadd.length; counter++)
[gray]// ...[/gray]

Hi

By the way, you have something like this before that code, right ?

thisform=document.formName;

If not, I suggest to use standard compliant references. Only the highest level [tt]Object[/tt] in the hierarchy, the [tt]window[/tt] is optional, the [tt]document[/tt] is not.

if ([red]document.[/red]thisform.shipadd.length)
for (counter = 0; counter < [red]document.[/red]thisform.shipadd.length; counter++)
[gray]// ...[/gray]
