Syntax error:

   <a href="javascript:onClick=pickChar('midge')">

   <img src="midge.gif" width="117" height="117"></a><br/>

   <input type="radio" name="radChars" value="midge" id="midge" <%if 
   varChar="midge" then%> checked <% end if %>>

Also, isn't the id attribute roughly equivalent to the name attribute.  
I'm pretty sure they should both be the same if you're using both.

Subject: [javascript] image checks radio button?


I'm not sure how to go about this correctly. In particular how to 
target individual radio buttons in a group. I want to be to click on 
an image and have it make a corresponding radio button in a group 
checked. The following is what I've been trying and doesn't work. Any 
suggestions?

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
	function pickChar(who){
		if(!document.getElementById(who).checked){
			document.getElementById(who).checked
	  }
	}
</script>

<a href="javascript:;" onClick="pickChar(midge)">

<img src="midge.gif" width="117" height="117"></a><br/>

<input type="radio" name="radChars" value="midge" id="midge" <%if 
varChar="midge" then%> checked <% end if %>>
