I'm having a devil of a time trying to grab a value from my form and running it in a script.
I've simplified my form, and posted it below. Any ideas? Anybody see my typo or problem? Right now, the alert comes back undefined.
Thanks

<input type="radio" name="q101" value="y"><input type="radio" name="q101" value="n">

function check(which){
var TestVar = which.q101.value;
alert(TestVar);
return false;
}

<form method="post" id="q" name="q" onSubmit="return check(this)">

I didn't realize the value was being defined right away, I thought since it didn't run until on pressed the submit button, that it would work.
I tried using the modified script you provided, but I still had issues with it. I do not totally understand values in the parentheses, so I don't know if I have to change it from what was provided. (ie; do I use check(which) and check(this), or something else?)
Thanks
I just need to put the definition of the variable inside the function!
Thanks.
