element question

[mdonahoe]

Hi, I'm pretty novice with javascript but it's coming along. I've got
a form with say 4 radio buttons listed -
option1
option2
option3
other (please specifiy)
then a 25 charachter text box to place your input.

What I want to do is if the option1,2,3 radio button is selected and
then you click in the textbox to type in your own custom option then
the radio button will change to the 4th radio button specifying
'other'.
Within this of the 4 options only one can be selected of the 4.

Hope this make sense.

Pointy Ears, once again more adding noise to this group than VK on most
days.

To the OP:

<input type="text" name="other"
onFocus="this.f orm.radiobutton groupname[3].checked=true">

That's one short way of accomplishing what you want.

Pointy Ears,

It is PointedEars, thanks.

Why, it does make sense. If there was a question, then this
was the correct answer :)

Maybe the OP should learn how to ask (the right) questions ...

Thank you very much that did the trick.

That wasn't the desire the OP wanted. If you want to be obtuse, be
obtuse but be prepared.
Maybe the OP should learn how to ask (the right) questions ...

And maybe you should learn how to read between the lines to read the
question.

For someone who repeatedly complains about netiquette, you make more
off-topic posts than anyone else in this newsgroup. For example, your
response in this thread. It added no value to anyone. If you want to be
snarky, take it to email where it's more appropriate. Or, don't do anything,
which would be the most appropriate response.

Perhaps a short lesson would be helpful to you:

1. Repeat to yourself: You are not _required_ to respond to anyone, and it
is not your job to teach everyone how to use the internet.

2. If someone doesn't phrase something to your liking, or doesn't include
proper punctuation, or doesn't express themselves in the best way, you may
wish to point out how they could have better phrased their post, then answer
and provide them help with the information they are looking for. Or, ignore
them completely.

3. Your posts which contain no real substance other than to correct the
style, language, punctuation, etc of the poster just add noise to this
newsgroup. If you're really interested in netiquette and the medium being
used most efficiently, you wouldn't make such posts.

If you used the effort and time that you put into correcting people on this
group into something more productive, you could certainly build up resources
which would benefit many others. That would be cool.

I can live with that assessment from someone who
thinks of this newsgroup as being a support forum.

I'm fully aware of what newsgroups are, having used them for well over a
decade.

But, perhaps you should use a dictionary to look up the more general
definition of the english word "forum":

1. A public meeting place for open discussion
2. A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper or a
radio or television program
3. A public meeting or presentation involving a discussion usually among
experts and often including audience participation

No more responses to your semantic BS.

If you do not want to talk semantics, that is fine with me. Then just do
not do it.

I also could have said:

I can live with that assessment, particularly that of being too much
off-topic at times, from someone who did not post more than five articles
per day (three at the average) during the last two months, and when he
posts, he is often but keeping those off-topic discussions alive by posting
his wild assumptions that have to be corrected.

There is a proverb in my native language that applies here:

Those who do nothing can do nothing wrong.

(O: Wer nichts macht, kann auch nichts falsch machen.)
