Radio button validation in javascript

Question

Need to validate a radio button input  i e  when submit button is pressed and no radio buttons have been selected  it alerts the user saying  please select a check box   and if a radio button has been selected then simply submit the form  needs no alert   Can only use HTML CSS and JavaScript for this  I know it s 1000 times easier in jquery but sadly I can t use that    And I know my HTML isn t valid  but unless it directly affects my current problem then I ll handle it later    lt form name  form1  action     onsubmit  return validateForm    method  post  gt        First time visitor   lt br  gt               lt label for  s1  gt Yes lt  label gt               lt input type  radio  id  1  name  yesno  value  1   gt               lt br  gt               lt label for  s2  gt No lt  label gt               lt input type  radio  id  1  name  yesno  value  2   gt                lt br  gt               lt input type  submit  value  Submit  gt  lt br  gt       lt  form gt    Any pointers are greatly appreciated  thanks

1st  If you know that your code isn t right  you should fix it before do anything   You could do something like this   function validateForm         var radios   document getElementsByName  yesno        var formValid   false       var i   0      while   formValid  amp  amp  i  lt  radios length            if  radios i  checked  formValid   true          i                       if   formValid  alert  Must check some option         return formValid       See it in action  http   jsfiddle net FhgQS

In addition to the Javascript solutions above  you can also use an HTML 5 solution by marking the radio buttons as required in the markup   This will eliminate the need for any Javascript and let the browser do the work for you   See HTML5  How to use the  quot required quot  attribute with a  quot radio quot  input field for more information on how to do this well

You could do something like this  var option document getElementsByName  Gender     if    option 0  checked    option 1  checked         alert  Please Select Your Gender        return false
