I forgot that about radio buttons. Man, what a pain I've been saved, too. There may be several hundred of these buggers to choose from.

Also you can get their “selected” status with:

document.form.picture[0].checked

…which is a boolean (e.g. “=true”).

So you'll have: <input type="radio" name="picture" value="0001"> <input type="radio" name="picture" value="0002"> ...And so on. Then you can access the values with: document.form.picture[0] document.form.picture[1] ...Like that.
