Refer to a button in a form by ID rather than name

[3allawy]

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to call or refer to the radio button with it's id tag other than the name because when I have the two different names for my radio buttons I am facing a problem.

The problem is that when you select one of my two radio buttons and submitt the form, that button stays checked, even if you select the other button.

----------------------html form------------------
<form id="quicksearch" name="quicksearch" action="scripts/search.cfm" method="post">

<label for="quicksearchBox">Search:</label> <input class="styledinput" tabindex="1" accesskey="S" type="text" name="Search" id="quicksearchBox" size="9" /><input class="styledinput" tabindex="2" type="submit" value="Go" id="quicksearchButton" /><br /><br />

<p><input type="radio" accesskey="J" name="type" id="Jmsb" value="J"/> JMSB </p>

<p><input type="radio" accesskey="C" name="type" id="Conc" value="C" /> DIS </p>
----------------------------------------------------------
cfm file

<CFSET myVAR1 = "

<CFSET myVAR2 = "

http://www.google.com/u/jmsb?q=/#FORM.Search#">

<cfif isdefined("FORM.Jmsb")>
<cflocation url= "#myVAR2#" addtoken="no">
</cfif>

<cfif isdefined("FORM.Conc")>
<cflocation url= "#myVAR1#" addtoken="no">

radio buttons are supposed to toggle. they're SUPPOSED to have the same names.

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.

ID isn't passed to the server only name.
