How can you not know the name of the button? Even if the names are being generated dynamically, you can still pass that to a js function.

This is exactly what I need, but I don't know how to do that since the name of my radio button group is not know beforehand. Does javascript have some sort of radio button collection that I could loop through, so every radio button group on the page gets checked, but I don't have to know it's name? I'll keep working on it.

Something simple, just checking to see if the radiobuttongroup.checked == 'true' make your next button or whatever moves the user on to the next set of questions, check the validator script first.
