Thank you for the response. Oh my, I'm not sure I understand this. I
think that you are suggesting to place the radio buttons in a <tbody>
also. This is good idea, I had been trying to go about it for each
individual element...something like below... Which is probably a
horrible way to do it....which explains why I haven't been able to
figure this out(*blush). Your approach seems like it is a much better
way, if I can just figure it out.. There seem to be several things
there that I haven't used before... Such as pluck, any, and select..?
And Also Im not sure what the ? and colon are for.... I apologize if I
am not making much since, or if I ask a stupid question. My brain is a
bit fuzzy at the moment, and....I'm a newbie.
Thank you again.

if (document.getElementsByName('element1').value == 'Yes')
{
$('form_B').show();
}
else (document.getElementsByName('element1').value == 'No')
{
$('form_B').hide();
}
}
