Simple form check

[ASchweti]

Hi there,

I would like to do a simple check if a radio box has been selected.

The form doesn't select any radio box by default, because I don't want to influence the users choice or let them submit the box at all without doing anything.

The form is a simple 5 star rating which means there are 5 radio boxes and a submi button.

Thanks for some help on this...

Hows this? DEMO

Hi awestmoreland,

exactly what I was looking for. I just thought there would be an easier way to check instead of using a for() statement.

Well, it works and I will use it

Thanks for your help!!

Glad it worked. I continued playing around and cameup with this too: Demo #2
In this case, I've removed the submit button as it updates automatically when the selection is changed.

It looks nice, but it may be totally useless

Hi Andy,

you are right, this is really nice but in my case useless. I am programming a 5 star rating tool, so I count of course all votings and return an average

Thanks anyway, especially because I was not aware that you made this example just to help me out.

Best regards,

Hi Andy,

may I ask you one more question regarding your script? I've come to the stage where I want to add my rating script into an actual page. I now face the problem that there are multiple items on one page which can be rated.

Therefore the form check needs to handle multiple forms on the same page. I see two ways. First, name every form differently and having multiple scripts for checking.

The second, which I prefer, would be to work somehow with an array and have just a single script, but I am not sure how to do that with JS.

Do you have an ideas?

Thanks very much,
