Hi Khalid,
Thank you very much for your help. When I add radio button group to the page and click submit. I use For Loop, but somehow it gives me an error. I want the value of radio button will display the next page after the user click the submit button.

This code only works for IE, but not for netscrape, right? I did try it out and it does not work.
This is the my code, please help me what did I do wrong

Thanks for your response so quickly.
I add couple radiobutton and use For Loop function name getSelectedButton() in order to get the value from the radiobutton when the user click submit. After the user hits submit button, the value from radio button and from text box should display the next page and save as window will appear at the same time. But when I click the submit button, it said error on page.
This is the code:
--------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script type="text/javascript">

function getSelectedButton(buttonGroup){
for (var i = 0; i < buttonGroup.length; i++) {
if (buttonGroup[i].checked) {
return i
}
}
return 0
}
function save(){
str1 = document.forms[0].t1.value + "\n";
str2 = document.forms[0].t2.value + "\n";

var i = getSelectedButton(flags);
str3 = document.forms[0].flags[i].value;

mydoc = document.open();
mydoc.write(str1);
mydoc.write(str2);
mydoc.write(str3);

mydoc.execCommand("saveAs",true,".txt");
mydoc.close();
return false;
}

You did not pass the array of radio buttons

var i = getSelectedButton(flags);

change the above line with this

var i = getSelectedButton(document.forms[0].flags);

Hi Khalid,
Would you please explain a little more what is the different between :
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JAVASCRIPT">
AND
<SCRIPT TYPE = "TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">

Instead use <SCRIPT TYPE = "TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">, I changed to <SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JAVASCRIPT"> with the code above. It has error, do you know why?

Thanks

language attribute is depricated,and is not used anymore.
The correct attribute for this type of decalraion in script element is
type="text/javascript">
Notice the small letters..

Your error has to be from some coding error

It should be noted that if you use the "language" attribute, and even if you include the "type" attribute, some versions of Netscape will behave in some non-standard ways.

Hi,
I would like to use attribue languge rather than attribute type in the code below. Do you know where should I change the code below to work with <script language="javascript"> instead of <script type="text/javascript">

Here is the code:
--------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="javacript">

function getSelectedButton(buttonGroup){
for (var i = 0; i < buttonGroup.length; i++) {
if (buttonGroup[i].checked) {
return i
}
}
return 0
}
function save(){
str1 = document.forms[0].t1.value + ",\n";
str2 = document.forms[0].t2.value + ",\n";

var i = getSelectedButton(document.forms[0].flags);
str3 = document.forms[0].flags[i].value;

mydoc = document.open();
mydoc.write(str1);
mydoc.write(str2);
mydoc.write(str3);

mydoc.execCommand("saveAs",true,".txt");
mydoc.close();
return false;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body class="body">
<form id="form1" action="" onsubmit="">

Do you know what does the $ sign of the code below mean? Does it effect the code if the $ sign removed? I know that when it starts with "", it is comments for the code, right? But I don't understand what is the $ sign there for??

That creates output in Unicode .txt files. How would I output correctly formatted HTML code generated from form user input?
