Problem when to iterate through Radio Buttons

[goodamr]

Dear All,

I'm building an Question/Answer Application in which I generate the Questions and Answers from Oracle database.

I'd like to validate through javascript that the user should answer each question.

First, I iterate through the questions.
Then, inside each question, I check if the user has chosen an answer (If the radio button is checked). If not alert a message.

I get the answer through:

var ans_rdo = document.getElementsByName('answer'+i);

but, when I iterate through it to check if it's checked or not:

if(ans_rdo[j].checked == true)

I get this error:
Error: 'checked' is null or not an object

Here is the complete function:
------------------

function ValidateEntery() 
{
    var qst_cnt = Number(document.Form1.quest_count.value);//Number of Questions
 
    for(i=1; i <= qst_cnt; i++)
    {
        var chk_cnt = 0;//number of radio checked
        var ans_rdo = document.getElementsByName('answer'+i); //get the anser radio button
        for(j=1; j <= ans_rdo.length; j++)
        {
            if(ans_rdo[j].checked == true) // here I get this error: 'checked' is null or not an object
            {
                chk_cnt ++;
            }
        }
 
        if(chk_cnt <= 0)
        {
            alert("Please answer all questions");
            return false;
        }
 
    }        
}

the error implies that the fetched object is not a radio button (or checkbox). there might be another form element with that name.

Thank you Dormilich for replying.

You are correct but the problem is because I have iterated through the radio buttons from 1:

for(j=1; j <= ans_rdo.length; j++) 

I should begin the iteration from 0 like that:

for(j=0; j < ans_rdo.length; j++) 

So the prblem has been solved.
