<DIV><FONT size=2>Thank you for your responses. For those of you who were
curious, I figured out why this script had trouble with the non-text
inputs. The script basically tests for the value of an input being an
empty string. This doesn't work for a checkbox because the proper test for
a checkbox is to see whether it is checked, it returns the same value either
way. So value is pretty useless as a field filled/empty test. The
reason the script had trouble returning anything of significance from radio
buttons is that it seems as though each radio button associated with a
particular name is in itself an object(located within an array which goes by the
radio name), similar to a textbox, as opposed to simply being a switch for the
value of the radio button. Therefore(I think) if I have a radio object
name 'fred' with four radio buttons associated with it, there really is no
object named 'fred', or at least no value associated with it, since 'fred' is an
array.</FONT></DIV>
