You can use the blur method. For example:
js:
function focusOff(radioO bj)
{
radioObj.blur() ;
}
html:
<input type = "radio" onclick = "focusOff(this) "/>text
Note: if you have a group of radio buttons, then you'll have to set the
even handler for each of them. You can see how quickly inefficient
this can become.

Seems your UI logic is flawed.
How do I take focus away from the radio buttons after they have been clicked
Presumably some other element has focus when you detect the 'cursor
keys'. Set that element to have focus whenever a radio button is
clicked by putting an onclick event on each radio button:
<input type="radio"
onclick="if(som eOtherElement.f ocus)someOtherE lement.focus()"

The UI sounds confusing and overly complicated.

You can use the blur method.
But you should not, see below.
For example:
js:
function focusOff(radioO bj)
{
radioObj.blur() ;
}
Radio/HTMLInputElemen t objects are host objects, so you should
test for its methods before you call them.
function isMethodType(s)
{
return (s == "function" || s == "object");
}
function focusOff(radioO bj)
{
if (radioObj && isMethodType(ty peof radioObj.blur))
{
radioObj.blur() ;
}
}
html:
<input type = "radio" onclick = "focusOff(this) "/>text
^
This is more XHTML than it is HTML. (In HTML that is equivalent
to
<input type = "radio" onclick = "focusOff(this) ">>text
but only few user agents support HTML SHORTTAG properly.)
And IE does not support XHTML (instead it renders falsely error-corrected
HTML if XHTML documents are served as text/html), so there is no use in
attempting to feed the former with the latter, and no advantage of XHTML
over HTML here whatsoever. Use Valid HTML 4.01 instead:
<input type="radio" id="radio0_1" onclick="focusO ff(this)"<label for="radio0_1"> text</label>
However, using focusOff() here inevitably makes the form unusable for users
that have client-side script support present but do not want or cannot use
a pointing device. Clearly a Bad Thing, and one that can be avoided.
Note: if you have a group of radio buttons, then you'll have to set the
even handler for each of them. [...]
No, you could use a parent `fieldset' element to which the `click' event
would bubble up.

Arrow keys will do me. In the good ol' days, they were used to move
the cursor on the screen hence 'cursor keys' I guess, but now I think
'arrow keys' will be more widely understood.

That likely depends on the browser and how you arrived at the page.
Take a look at the page in question
http://www.stuartstuart.fsnet.co.uk/weather/handler.htm
The page doesn't work at all. You have used a reserved word for your
very first variable name:
var int=24
All statements should be terminated by a semi-colon even though they
will be inserted automatically - don't leave it to chance.
The left and right arrows move the maps back and forward. however when a
radio button is clicked the arrow keys scrooll through the buttons until I
click somewhere else,
Using which browser? It works for me OK in IE 5.2 (Mac OS) but not
any other browser I tried.
If I attach an event to the onClick of the radio button, what should I
attach focus to?
Probably the document body since that is where the onkeydown is
defined, try:
function docFocus(){
var docBody = document.body || document.docume ntElement;
if (docBody && docBody.focus) docBody.focus() ;
}
But it 'works' for me in IE 5.2, so the point seems moot.
The UI sounds confusing and overly complicated.

Definatly being lazy now, How do I assign the up and down arrow keys to
scroll through the "grp" radio buttons.

What navigation is there to do on that page other than scroll through the
images? Personally I can,t think of a better way of viewing these images
than to use the cursor keys!

Read again. With blur() you are _preventing_ yourself from using the
cursor keys again (or require yourself to tab back). You are looking
for focus()ing another control onclick or for another UI approach.
