Hi there,

Unfortunately, there isn't an easier way. You'll have to loop through all 
the radiobuttons with the same name, and then see if they are checked or not.

Here is an example:
var frmForm = document.frmFormula;
var len = frmForm.elements.length;
for (var i = 0 ; i < len ; i++)
{
         if (frmForm.elements[i].name == 'chkFormula')
         {
                 if (frmForm.elements[i].checked == true)
                 {
                         alert(frmForm.elements[i].value);
                 }
         }
}


This loops through ALL the fields in the form. If the name is chkFormula it 
checks whether the item is selected or not.
You could minimize this code by not looping through the complete form, but 
by using document.getElementsByName("myName"), which returns a collection 
of all elements with the name "myName". Note, however, that you need a 
rather modern browser for this method to work.
