help with reset() on dynamic form

[ixnay5]

hi -

i'm goin' mad i tell ya! mad!

i have some "master" radio buttons that control the display of other "slave" radio buttons dynamically.

if i want to reset the form using the standard reset button, all the radio buttons clear out normally, but the slave buttons (displayed using div.style.visibility='hidden or visible') will not clear out. hmmmm...

so i try a custom reset function. i can clear the display of the slave divs, but i can't figure out how to clear out the master radio buttons. when i view (alert()) their values from within the function, they're always undefined. however, if i submit them, their actual values always reach the action page. huh? but true.

here's my custom reset button code:

<input type="button" name="reset" value="Reset" onclick="myreset();">

here's the custom reset function:

function myreset(){

//document.mainform.reset();

mainform.red.checked='false';
mainform.inter.checked='false';

DS3Div.style.visibility='hidden';
OC3Div.style.visibility='hidden';
STMDiv.style.visibility='hidden';
VocSlaveDIV.style.visibility='hidden';

}

document.mainform.reset(); isn't working...

i've tried referring to mainform.red and mainform.inter as document.mainform.red and document.mainform.inter, but it makes no difference...

lost...

You want to make sure that you set your radio button's checked value to the boolean false instead of a string representation of 'false'. I'd suggest changing these 2 lines and see if that fixes it:

mainform.red.checked=false;
mainform.inter.checked=false;
