simple radiogroup chambawamba

[Matthias H. Risse]

hi

i want to access the current value of this radiogroup in my
javascript function. unfortunately the id's are changing
on every request (some hash thing of pear.php.net::html_quickform-package).

....
<input onclick="foo();" value="0" type="radio" id="qf_18d951"
name="ident" checked="checked" /><label for="qf_18d951">none</label>
<input onclick="foo();" value="1" type="radio" id="qf_fd9452"
name="ident" /><label for="qf_fd9452">1</label>
 
 
<input onclick="foo();" value="2" type="radio" id="qf_a9078a"
name="ident" /><label for="qf_a9078a">2</label>
 
....
 

here is what did _not_ work out, because i somehow dont
get a valid object in IE6 nor in a later Gecko. i am sure
i mixed something silly up, but i just cannot spot it.

function foo()
{
myobj = document.getElementByName('ident').value;
myobj2 = document.getElementsByName('ident')[0].value;
}
 

anyone? tnx in adv!

 function foo()
 {
     myobj = document.getElementByName('ident').value;
     myobj2 = document.getElementsByName('ident')[0].value;
 }
 

function foo(){
d=document.forms[0].elements['ident'];
for(i=0;i<d.length;i++){
if(d[i].checked){
return d[i].value
}
}
return "Not selected"
}
