If textarea is NOT empty, activate 2 radio buttons

[Syswatch]

Hi out there...
I am pretty new to javascript, and is looking for some help here.

I have a problem, I need a small javascript, which checks if there is
any text in my textarea, and if it is NOT empty it should activate 2
radio buttons below.
It also has to check that one of these radio buttons is checked if they
are active.

Can some help me out here....
I can find lots of examples on the opposite :-(

Best regards,

It looks good, but there is just a small bug.
When the radio buttons are activated, you can push submit again without
any prompt that you need to pick one.

It will always have something wrong what about you want this or that ...
You did ask for textarea, no ?

For submitting you need another function to verify all fields and
element of form (not only textarea and its little cousins)

<form onsubmit="return verif(this)" ... >

JS :
====
function verif(what) {
what = what.elements;
for(var i=0; i<what.length; i++) {
if((what[i].type=='text' || what[i].tagName=='textarea')
&& what[i].value=='') {
alert('field or window text '+what.name+' not filled');
what[i].focus();
what[i].select();
return false;
}
return true;
}
