Question

I have two radio buttons within an HTML form. A dialog box appears when one of the fields is null. How can I check whether a radio button is selected?

HTML Code

Javascript Code:

var off_payment_method = document.getElementsByName('offline_payment_method');
var ischecked_method = false;
for ( var i = 0; i < off_payment_method.length; i++) {
    if(off_payment_method[i].checked) {
        ischecked_method = true;
        break;
    }
}
if(!ischecked_method)   { //payment method button is not checked
    alert("Please choose Offline Payment Method");
}
