Capture Values/Properties

[Sabin_33]

From my HTML Form how can I capture values or properties to use in functions?

Say I have this :

Code: Select all

    &nbsp;<input id="Accept" name="MyAction" type="radio" value=" Accept" style="width: 64px" checked="CHECKED"/>
    Accept<br />
    &nbsp;<input id="Decline" name="MyAction" type="radio" value=" Decline" style="width: 64px"/>
    Decline<br />
    <br />
    Comments :<br />
    <input id="txtcomments" name="Comments" style="width: 320px; height: 152px" type="text" /><br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <input id="Submit1" style="width: 112px; height: 40px" type="submit" value="submit" onclick="return Submit1_onclick()" /><br />
    &nbsp;<br />
    <br />

On Submit how can I get a alert to come up with value of whichever radio button I clicked?

Ask this question the the JavaScript forum if you need an alert. If you need validation or a foolproof method, you'll need PHP.

I would go for the PHP method myself, much easier to write...lol

How can I do this with php?
I have seen some code snippets of javascript but I'm not understanding how it works.

Why can't I just do something like this :

Code: Select all

function checkthisout(MyField)
{
    alert(MyField.Name & " " & MyField.Value) 
}

//HTML stuff
<form>
Type Here:
<input type="text" name="test1">
<input type="submit" onclick="return checkthisout(test1)">
</form>
