Click on an Image, and set radio button value to true

[ameshkin]

Hi guys,

I'm a pretty good PHP programmer, but when it comes to JS, I just dont
understand it! But I really need to learn. I'm having trouble doing
the simplest thing!

When someone clicks on this image, I want the radiobutton above it to
be checked. Not that hard,but nothing I try seems to work. Can
someone please help me?
<form id="form1" method="post" action="">
<input type="radio" name="radio" id="svc_tp_1" value="svc_tp_0 4" /></
td>
<img src="images/print.jpg" onClick="check( 'svc_tp_1')" />

Do you really need javascript?

Why not:

<label><input type="radio"/><img/></label>

: <label><input type="radio"/><img/></label>

Is that something new? It doesn't look like HTML nor XHTML. I'm
curious. Did I miss out on something?

Apparently.

When someone clicks on this image, I want the radiobutton above it to
be checked. Not that hard,but nothing I try seems to work. Can
someone please help me?

<form id="form1" method="post" action="">
<input type="radio" name="radio" id="svc_tp_1" value="svc_tp_0 4" /></
td>
<img src="images/print.jpg" onClick="check( 'svc_tp_1')" />

Reduced to the necessary minimum (HTML 4.01 Transitional) and all invalid
code dumped to /dev/null:

<form action="" method="post">
<input type="radio" name="radio" id="svc_tp_1" value="svc_tp_0 4"

><label for="svc_tp_1"> <img

src="images/print.jpg" alt="Print"></label>
<input type="submit">
</form>

Sorry, looks like there is no JS in there. But maybe someone else comes up
with a fully-fledged scripted solution that introduces the accessibility issue.

No, it turns 10 on December 24 next year.

It doesn't look like HTML nor XHTML.

*The above* is not. However, it can be written as Valid HTML 4.01 or
XHTML 1.x. See my other reply.

I'm curious. Did I miss out on something?

Obviously.

If you really want to select the radio button, by using JavaScript,
without using <labelelement ,
then the following code will help you.
<img src="images/print.jpg" alt="Print"
onClick="docume nt.getElementBy Id('id_of_your_ radio_button'). checked =
true;">

<labelin forms is pure html

very useful for accessibility
<p><label for="theId">Ple ase hit me to check the radio button choice
1</label>
<input type="radio" id="theId" name="choice" tabindex=10
value="choice_1 "choice 1</p>

So that could work with an image

<p>
<label for="theId">
<img src="choice_1.g if" alt="button helper"
tittle="hit me to check choice 1">
</label>
<input type="radio" id="theId" name="choice"
tabindex=10 value="choice_1 ">
choice 1
</p>

Thanks guys,
The above is exactly what I was lookng for. i almost had it myself,
but because of a typo, it did not work correctly!

I really need to buy a js book. Javascript is not really powerful,
but there are many things you can do with it that are impossible with
other languages, which does make it very powerful in its own way.

It's not. To begin with, it uses host object's methods without
feature-testing for them first.

Hardly. In fact, at this point my recommendation stands that no book about
JS is worth buying for a beginner. There is plenty of reference material
online, for free. While subscribing to this newsgroup and reading regularly
is generally a good idea when attempting to learn the language(s), you
should start with the newsgroup's FAQ <http://jibbering.com/faq/and go
from there.

Javascript is not really powerful, [...]

As a *beginner* talking about *"Javascript "* when there is no such language,
you are not exactly in a position to correctly assess the power of the
several different implementations of the ECMAScript Language Specification.
