Part of this is the natural thinking (certainly I have it) that radio buttons shouldn't/don't trigger actions just by clicking them. In the main, I'd tend to use a (set of) radio button to hold a user selection for subsequent passive reading when the form is submitted.
Recently, however, I've been using them in active (clickable) fashion to act on user choices. For example, in my summary screens I'm using them to allow the user to control the sort order. The onclick event directly saves a cookie and resubmits the page to get a database retrieve with a different sort order (this is an intranet and I'm not interested in sorting at the browser end). I could have used buttons or drop-down lists or check boxes but the "one and only one active" paradigm of the radio button seems more natural for the users for this type of thing.

Thank you for your help. To be honest: I think you get something stuck in your head, and you need someone else to point it out to you. I had it in my mind that the onchange event is what was needed (male egos tend to do that). But anyway: thanks for the help. Andy ----- Original Message ----- I think the "onchange" won't fire until the change is "committed" - i.e. you move away from the radio button (or presumably double-click it). If you want it to respond to a click, why not use an "onclick" event? Dave S --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
