javascript not working for radio buttons....

[sunil.23143]

hello,

i m using the folloing javascript for all the forms of my web. This script works well for all the fields...but not for radio buttons due to the reason that i have two radio buttons of the same name.

but if the radio button names are different the script works well.but due to some programming i cant give different names to two radio buttons....

 

 

# function MM_findObj(n, d) {
# //alert(n)
# //alert(d)
#   var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
#     d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
#   if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
#   for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
#   if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n);  return x;
# }
#  
# function MM_validateForm() {
#   var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;
# //alert(args.length-2)
#   for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=MM_findObj(args[i]);
#     //alert(val)
#  
#     if (val) { nm=args[i+1]; if ((val=val.value)!="") {
#  
#                // alert(val)
#       if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
#         if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain an e-mail address.\n';
#       } else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);
#         if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
#         if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
#           min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
#           if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
#     } } }  else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n'; }
#   }
#  
# //alert(document.getElementById('agreement1').value)
# //alert(document.getElementById('agreement').value)
#  
# //alert("work")
# //if(document.referrer.getElementById('agreement1').value=='1') errors+='Must accept terms of conditions ref';
#  
#  
# //if(document.getElementById('agreement').value=='1') errors+='Must pt terms of conditions';
#  
#  
#  
#  
# if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
#  
#   document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
#  
# }

 

he form where i m applying this script is given below.if a field is blank, on submit a alert box appears conveying the information about field set black...this works well for the field "state" but not for the field "gender"....your sugestions are most welcomed.........

   1. <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
   2.  <form name="register" action="index.php?mode=register" method="post" >

   5.                    </tr>
   6.  
   7.                    <tr>

...and what "programming" prevents you from using 2 diff names for 2 diff radio buttons?
