Form validation and radio group focus

[axsom1]

I have an online employment application I am creating for the office. In the application there are yes no questions that I have used radio buttons for. For some reason I can't get the script to focus on the radio group. Here is a simple snipet of what I am doing.

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

function checkform() {

if (!document.form1.Gen_EighteenOrYounger.checked)
{
alert(&quot;Please select wether you are over 18 or not.&quot;
document.form1.Gen_EighteenOrYounger.focus();
return false;
}

}
</script>

Now, I call this function by the onSubmit in the form tag.

<FORM method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;review.asp&quot; name=&quot;form1&quot; onSubmit=&quot;return checkform()&quot;>

I get the alert to please select your age but then it continues on and processes the form and sends me over to the next page.

I don't get what I am missing. Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks,
John Axsom

You can't refer to radio groups you have to use
their indexes:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function checkform(form) {
var checked = false;
for(i=0;i < form.Gen_EighteenOrYounger.length; i++) {
if(form.Gen_EighteenOrYounger.checked) {
checked = true;}}
if (!checked)
{
alert(&quot;Please select wether you are over 18 or not.&quot;
form.Gen_EighteenOrYounger[0].focus();
return false;
}
}
</script>

<FORM method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;review.asp&quot; name=&quot;form1&quot; onsubmit=&quot;return checkform(this);&quot;>

Try it out....
