toggle radio button via getElementById

[Bastien]

All

I am trying to see if I can toggle a radio button as below with a document.getElementById("buttonId").checked=true. There are 25 buttons on the page as below.

I seem to have some issues with this. Is this the right approach or do I need to loop thru the radio buttons and check for the id?

<tr class='reportrows1'><td noWrap>
  <input type='radio' id='221234' name='hierarchy_selection'  onclick='javascript:document.getElementById("").value="221234";return true;'>
&nbsp;<a onclick='doit(document.getElementById("_details_221234"));document.getElementById('221234').checked=true;'></a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr id='_details_221234' style='display: none'>
  <td><b>Chain&nbsp;:</b>&nbsp;22
      <BR><b>Zone&nbsp;:</b>&nbsp;99
      <BR><b>Region&nbsp;:</b>&nbsp;99
      <BR><b>District&nbsp;:</b>&nbsp;99
      <BR>
  </td>
</tr>

You are trying to set the status of a radio button from a link, however the link is empty, so how exactly do you expect to click it if there's nothing there?


What exactly are you trying to do?

Looks like you want to get the radio button to be checked when a text related to it is clicked.

Why not use a label instead, that already works like that, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel?

<label for="122345">check me</label><input type=radio id="122345" name="aradiobtn">

Link is empty due to bad copy'n'paste. Sorry. I will try the label approach
