[Javascript] FW: Severe 'newbie' help with checkbox/submit

Wed Apr 23 13:57:08 CDT 2003

Hi Pat I don't know if this would help,
Here's an HTML DOC that uses a radio group to accomplish what you want:
You may have to correct some text wrapping.
*****************PASTE TEXT BELOW THIS LINE INTO HTML DOC***********************

<script language="JavaScript">

function setVar(val)
{
	myURL = val;
}

function openURL()
{
	var newWin = window.open(myURL,"","");
}
//-->
</script> 
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<table width="200">
  <tr>
    <td><label>
      <input type="radio" name="myURLS" onClick="setVar('http://www.ebay.com')">
      EBay</label>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><label>
      <input type="radio" name="myURLS" onClick="setVar
('http://www.foxnews.com')">
      Fox</label>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
  <input type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit" onClick="openURL()">
  </p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
