Radio Button Selected Value
AFAIK, to retrieve the selected value for <SELECT> in a single line javascript, I have the following code:
this.form.areaID.options[t
If I were wanted to do the same, retrive the selected value for <RADIO> in a single line javascript, how?

I tried your suggestion on "this.form.format.checked"

This probly isn't the best way to do what you want, but it gets it done.

With my solution you won't have to loop through the radio buttons.
just the hidden filed will do the trick..

I realize that it is kind of late, but I just ran across this while looking for something else.
Anyway, how about this code (go to AllWordSearch.com to see the whole thing in operation):
<input type=radio name="search" value="words" checked>
<input type=radio name="search" value="phrase">
<input type=radio name="where" value="page" checked>
<input type=radio name="where" value="title">
search.cgi?search='+(searc
+'&where='+(where[0].check
There's two sets of two radio buttons there, and it's all in a single line, just like you asked.

I use an entirely different strategy:
I set up a global (and persistent) variable, say rdat, in a <head> javascript block
<script type='text/javascript' language='javascript1.2'>
rdat='';
...
</script>
then for each radio button I add a short onclick statement:
<input type=radio name='radbut' value='X' onclick='rdat=value'>
<input type=radio name='radbut' value='Y' onclick='rdat=value'>
...
This way the selected radio button is always available in the variable rdat. (Or you could use a hidden input value)
e.g. alert('radio button value='+rdat);

@dennis_maeder: Why the JS 1.2 your code would work in any JS implementation
is true if the button is checked, false if not.
eg:
if (document.form.radioButton
// checked. Do this.
} else {
// not checked. Do that.
}
