Form elements work in Firefox, but not in I.E.

[Beagle804]

OK. I'm very new to Javascript and what I've learned so far has been find snippets of code on the web and using them in my php programs. I put together an application that allows a Reset button to clear radio inputs in a portion of the page. And another button which will also set the values of these same radio's to a certain value. The form is for evaluating a speaker at a conference.

I programmed everything using Firefox for testing and my client tested with Safari and everything was working great. Then a user goes and tried Internet Explorer. Whoops, wont work. Can anyone explain why this snippet wont work in I.E.?

function reset_session(radioObj1, radioObj2, radioObj3, radioObj4, radioObj5, radioObj6 ) {
        for(var i = 0; i < 4 ; i++) 
            radioObj1[i].checked = false;
        for(var i = 0; i < 4 ; i++) 
            radioObj2[i].checked = false;
        for(var i = 0; i < 4 ; i++) 
            radioObj3[i].checked = false;
        for(var i = 0; i < 2 ; i++) 
            radioObj4[i].checked = false;
        for(var i = 0; i < 2 ; i++) 
            radioObj5[i].checked = false;
        for(var i = 0; i < 2 ; i++) 
            radioObj6[i].checked = false;
        }
        //-->
    </script>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
        <!--
function setCheckedValue(radioObj1, radioObj2, radioObj3, radioObj4, radioObj5, radioObj6 ) {
        radioObj1[0].checked = true;
        radioObj2[0].checked = true;
        radioObj3[0].checked = true;
        radioObj4[0].checked = true;
        radioObj5[0].checked = true;
        radioObj6[0].checked = true;
        }
        //-->
    </script>
 

And the php generated html page:
[HTML]<input type='button' name='reset' value='Reset' onclick="reset_session(document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_1'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_2'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_3'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_4'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_5'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_6'])" /><input type='button' name='rate' value='Rate this session Excellent' onclick="setCheckedValue(document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_1'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_2'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_3'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_4'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_5'], document.forms['mainform'].elements['7451_1_6'], 4, 7451, 1 )" />
[/HTML]
Thanks for any help...

Welcome to TSDN.
It ll be better to give the total HTML file so that we can figure out the elements of the form.
OK.
So as early as possible send us that HTML code.
OK.

Kind regards,
Dmjpro.

setCheckedValue only has 6 parameters. You've given 9.

You should also avoid using a number as the beginning of a form element name.

Thanks very much for looking at my question. I was able to figure a working model by accessing the page elements in sequence as opposed to trying to pass the element names as a variable.

Thanks again,

Actually that's a good idea. Passing the element names is fine, but the way it was done in this situation wasn't the best way.
