You can have such code:

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function displayValue()
{
 for (var i = 0; i < document.form1.radiobut.length; i++)
   {
    if (document.form1.radiobut[i].checked)
     {    
      var display = document.form1.radiobut[i].value;
      alert(display);
      
     }
   }
}
//-->
</script>

Above, replace "form1" and "radiobut" with the names of your form and radiobutton.

Not quite sure what you want to do--display something to the user when he/she selects one choice among several? Would this be to confirm that the choice has been made? Usually just the black dot in the option selected is taken as the indication that the choice has been made. Or am I missing your point?

It's simply for troubleshooting purposes, I just want to see if there is an easy way using JavaScript to display the value of the selected radiobutton.

yes...if simply wanting to debug then you can use inline code

HTML Code:

<html>
 <head>
  <title>Javascript onclick Radio Button Demo</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <form action="page.htm" method="post">
   <fieldset>
    <legend>Gender</legend>
     <table>
      <tr>
       <td>Male</td>
       <td><input type="radio" name="gender" value="Male" onclick="alert(this.value);"></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
       <td>Female</td>
       <td><input type="radio" name="gender" value="Female" onclick="alert(this.value);"></td>
      </tr>
     </table>
   </fieldset>
  </form>
 </body>
</html>
