Radio btn Onclick Event help 1

[bam720]

I am trying to force a user to click one radio button on ym form before they can move to the next page. I have the "Next" button disabled, and when they chose any radio button it should re-enable the Next button. I am using this in combination with php but thought that maybe you could help me out.

//these are generated dynamically with Link for more info
<input type=\"radio\" name=$Name value=\"".$Result."\" onclick=\"location.reload(true)\"";
if($Result == $Sel)
    echo " checked =\"yes\"";
echo "/><a href=\"/equipinfo.php?ClientName=$CName&ClientLoc=$Addy&EquipName=$Result\" target=\"_new\">".$Result."</a><br>";


//static one
'<input type="radio" name=Comp value="All" onclick=\"document.MyForm.submit()"\"/> All';

//Next Button
  <input name="Submit" type=submit value="Next" 
  <?php if($Comp== "")
  			echo "disabled=True;";
	?>
>

I've tried both those methods. the result produced is:
()T1
()T2
()Office
()All

I don't think i wnat refresh becuase in my playing It seems more like a reset button which no information is saved. I've read that the submit action doesn't apply to Radio Buttons. Now I am stuck. Is there anyway to send back the Radio button's Vale back to the form so I can re-enable the Next button

Can you show us just the page's source code? I don't know PHP.

[1] "Update[0]", "Update[1]", "Update[2]" are unacceptable as element's name.

[2]>[tt]onclick="document.MyForm.submit()" [/tt]
[tt]onclick="document.[red]mySubmit[/red].submit()"[/tt]

 

[bam720]

[1] Why are they unacceptable? I am using php to read them as an array on the next page.

[2] Thanks but its still not working. I think becuase its a radio button?

This is somehow becoming regular recently for me. I don't know... if I use the reduction you show the forum, it submits even without concern with my [1]! Radio may not be the most desirable control for it, but it still be acceptable.

First it is w3c html specs' requirement:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#type-cdata

quote:
ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
unquote.

Second, if you ever use client-side scripting with javascript, the same requirement imposed. Using [] in form element's name means you surrender the power of client-side scripting. It's up to you.

Ok I fixed it. I had two forms on the same page with the same name.
