Select a radio button have another value passed on also in form- How?

[Stoic]

I'm offering a selection of three items. One is $25, the second is $50, the third is $100.
Along with selection one of the items I need to pass the quantity of the selection. Here is
the code now.
<tr><td><inpu t type="radio" name="item_name " value="Reduced" >Reduced</td><td><input
type="radio" name="amount" value="25">$25. 00ea.</td></tr>

<tr><td><inpu t type="radio" name="item_name " value="Regular" >Regular</td><td><input
type="radio" name="amount" value="50">$50. 00ea.</td></tr>

<tr><td><inpu t type="radio" name="item_name " value="Premium" >Premium</td><td><input
type="radio" name="amount" value="100">$10 0.00ea.</td></tr>

<tr><td>Numbe r of Tickets: </td><td><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="quantity" size="3"></td></tr>

Having a radio button for "amount" and "item_name" isn't going to work.

I can't figure out how to get the "amount" to be passed when the radio button for
"item_name" is selected.

Can I do this in a simple HTML form? And how?

Thanks in advance

Why not? Why do you need both values? From what we can see above Reduced =
25, Regular = 50 and Premium = 100, so just pass one value and let the
server side code handle the rest.

Why do you have two radio buttons for each choice in the first place? You
should have a single radio button for each choice. Each one's value should
be something from which the code at the server will be able to determine
both the type of admission and the price.
