Error: document.forms[0].sec11_A has no properties

5
I'm having issues, I've spent many hours searching and I'm a noob at javascript, any help will be greatly appreciated.

I keep getting the following error:
Error: document.forms[0].sec11_A has no properties

with this script:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. function checkform(btntype)

if your HTML what is "sec11_A"? Which element has that as its id? and what type of element is it?

It's for a radio button:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <input style="border:0px; width:15px; height:15px;" name="sec11_A" id="sec11_A" type="radio" value="1" <%=sec11_A1%> />

how many radio buttons are in the group sec11_A? if there is only one, then maybe u should change it to a checkbox, maybe that would do the trick.

There's actually 3 in that group:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  <input style="border:0px; width:15px; height:15px;" name="sec11_A" id="sec11_A" type="radio" value="1" <%=sec11_A1%> />
  2.  
  3.  <input style="border:0px; width:15px; height:15px;" name="sec11_A" id="sec11_A" type="radio" value="2" <%=sec11_A2%> />
  4.  
  5.  <input style="border:0px; width:15px; height:15px;" name="sec11_A" id="sec11_A" type="radio" value="3" <%=sec11_A3%> />

try this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. for (i=0;i<document.formName.sec11_A.length;i++)
  2.  
replace formName with the name of your form. u might have to change the others too.

good luck
