Set Radio Button Value to a Predefined Javascript Value?

[jbj]

Hi I have what seems like a simple question but it has baffled me for hours now. How do I set the value of an HTML radio button to a predefined javascript value? I am trying to get the value of radioButton to = the javascript variable named countryText which is defined earlier in the page.

The following does not work obviously:

<input name="radioButton" type="radio" class="box" value="javascript:countryText" checked="checked" "/>

Any advice? thanks.

Try replacing that line with:

Code: Select all

<script type='text/javascript'>
     document.write("<input name='radioButton' type='radio' class='box' value='" + countryText + "' checked='checked' />");
</script>

Don't have time to test it right now, but I think that should work. Hope this helps.
