Radio button

[discusmania]

hi guys....
I've 2 radio butto with the same name (so that only i option can be clicked at 1 time ):

<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name =&quot;opt_issue&quot; value=&quot;lt&quot;>Long Term (Improvement)
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name =&quot;opt_issue&quot; value =&quot;st&quot; checked>Short Term

how can i capture the value selected (automatically after the button is clicked) and pass the value to the next form?

thanks so much
Ron

do you want it to go to the next form as soon as the person clicks on the radio button? or after they hit a submit button, and just pass the value to the next form?

 

[link9]

<script language=javascript>
function getValue(value){
\\do what you need to with the value here
}
</script>

<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name =&quot;opt_issue&quot; value=&quot;lt&quot; onClick=&quot;getValue(this.value);&quot;>

In that function, you can do whatever you need to, but I'm guessing that you are trying to assign the value to another form element?

document.formName.elementName.value = value;

would be the syntax for that operation --

I want to get the value so that from the value i can set a condition:
if opt_issue=&quot;value 1&quot; then
'do task 1
else
' do task 2
end if

Thanks so much

Just request the name of the buttons from the next form like any other form element. example:

---page1.asp--------------------------------

<form method='post' action='page2.asp'>
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name =&quot;opt_issue&quot; value=&quot;lt&quot;>Long Term (Improvement)
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name =&quot;opt_issue&quot; value =&quot;st&quot; checked>Short Term
<input type='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>


---page2.asp---------------------------------

<%
Dim radioInfo
radioInfo = Request.Form(&quot;opt_issue&quot
response.write(&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot; & radioInfo & &quot;&quot;&quot;<BR><BR>&quot
If radioInfo = &quot;lt&quot; then
response.write(&quot;Long Term Selection&quot
Else
response.write(&quot;Short Term Selection&quot
End If
%>

Hope that's what you need and helps.

I have these 2 radio buttons:-

<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name =&quot;ComponenetStatus&quot; value=&quot;generic&quot;>Generic
<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name =&quot;ComponenetStatus&quot; value =&quot;custom&quot; checked>Custom

and then on the next asp, after submitting with a submit button, I have the following code:-

ComponentStatus = Request.Form(&quot;ComponentStatus&quot

response.write(&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot; & ComponentStatus & &quot;&quot;&quot;<BR><BR>&quot

If ComponentStatus = &quot;Generic&quot; then
response.write(&quot;Generic&quot
Else
response.write(&quot;Custom&quot
End If

However, everytime, Custom is being written out on the page, which means that ComponentStatus is not correctly populated.

What do I have wrong?

JohannIcon,
from now on, don't post a new question in any current forum thread. Start your own to ask a question.

you spelled &quot;ComponenetStatus&quot; this way on the form page, and you spelled it &quot;ComponentStatus&quot; on the processing page. You just need to pay closer attention to your spelling is all. -Ovatvvon :-Q

Yeah I got that

Thanks
