How to get the selected radio button’s value?

Question

I’m having some strange problem with my JS program. I had this working properly but for some reason it’s no longer working. I just want to find the value of the radio button

If it is possible for you to assign a Id for your form element(), this way can be considered as a safe alternative way (specially when radio group element name is not unique in document):

function findSelection(field) {
    var formInputElements = document.getElementById("yourFormId").getElementsByTagName("input");
    alert(formInputElements);
        for (i=0; i < formInputElements.length; i++) {
        if ((formInputElements[i].type == "radio") && (formInputElements[i].name == field) && (formInputElements[i].checked)) {
            alert(formInputElements[i].value + ' you got a value');     
            return formInputElements[i].value;
        }
    }
}
