Clear all selected radio buttons?

[jumpthru]

If you have a set of radio buttons, and you have set none of them to checked (so when the page opens, none are checked), and a user clicks one of them, but then decides he didn't want to click it, is there a way to make a link using javascript that sets them all back to unchecked?

Thanks.

<input type="button" value="clear" onClick="document.former.checkbutton1.checked=false">

Here is an example:

<form name="former">
<p>checkbutton1<input type="radio" name="checkbutton1" onClick="document.former.checkbutton2.checked=false">
</p>
<p>checkbutton2<input type="radio" name="checkbutton2" onClick="document.former.checkbutton1.checked=false">
</p>
<p>
<input type="button" value="clear" onClick="document.former.checkbutton1.checked=false;document.former.checkbutton2.checked=false">
</form>
</p>

Oops, I am using radio buttons. How do you do this for radio buttons?

Those are radio button. I just "named" them checkbutton1 and 2. Try running the script to see if this is what you want.

Hey,

On JSCity forums, a similar question was asked. A generic function was created which allowed the user to click the radio button again to uncheck it. I think it's vey useful, and I think the webbrowsers should automatically allow this, but anyway, you can use it as a JavaScript on the pages you want it on.
