I think this might work. You could wrap it up into a function, of course, with name as a parameter.
$$('input[type="radio"][name="whatever"]').find(function(radio) { return radio.checked; }).value; -- Jonathan Rosenberg Founder & Executive Director, Tabby's Place http://www.tabbysplace.org/ From: prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com [mailto:prototype-scriptacul...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Shane McCarron Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 1:32 PM To: prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Getting the value of a form field I am sure this is just ignorance on my part, but... I would really like to $F('formField') to get the value of whatever field I am interested in. However, it seems formField needs to be the field's ID, not its Name. That's cool, except when I have Radio Buttons or Check Boxes. You aren't allowed to have multiple elements with the same ID and still be valid. What's the right way to do this? -- Shane McCarron halindr...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
