Reset All Radio Button Capability

[ToddAtWSU]

I have a grid of radio buttons that I use to vote for a Top Ten. I have x number of rows (1 row for a team) and 10 columns. I have it set up so each radio button in a row is in a group so the rest of the row is disabled upon clicking a radio button and then when a button is clicked inside a column the rest of the column is disabled. This way no team can get voted more than once and no spot can have more than one team voted for. I have a Reset button next to each row so the user can reset their vote for that team. I also want to add a Reset All button that resets all the rows. But I get IE to hang whenever I click the Reset All button. The Reset button works fine. Here is the code for a Reset button. This stuff is in Javascript and par_num == # rows and rad_num == # columns in my grid of radio buttons.

 

               // variable to set the number of participants $totalTeams
               var par_num = '<?php global $totalTeams; echo $totalTeams; ?>';

               // variable to set the number of radio buttons per row
               var rad_num = 10;

               function reset_radio(row)
               {
                  // loop through the radio buttons on the row to see which 
                  // radio button is selected

                  for( i = 1 ; i <= rad_num ; i++ )
                  {
                     // if the radio button is selected,
                     // uncheck it and enable the other radio buttons
                     if( document.getElementById( 'par_' + row + '_' + i ).checked )
                     {
                        // unchecking the button
                        document.getElementById( 'par_' + row + '_' + i ).checked = false;
                        // turning the other radion buttons on
                        change_disable_status( i, false );
                        return;
                     }
                  }
               }

 

Here is the code for the Reset All button and this function is located directly below the reset_row( ) function.

               function reset_all( )
               {
                  for( i = 1 ; i < par_num ; i++ )
                  {
                     reset_radio( i );
                  }
               }

 

Here is the code to create my Reset button in PHP

echo "<td align=\"center\"><input type=\"button\" value=\"Reset\" onclick=\"reset_radio('" . ( $i + 1 ) . 
                          "'); return false;\"/></td>";

 

And my code to create my Reset All button.

<input type="button" value="Reset All" onclick="reset_all( );"/>

 

Thanks for all your help in helping me to try and get my Reset All button to work.
