Unhappy Radio Buttons Default value
Would like to know how to set a default value of a radio button.
I'm able to set it on the click of a button but not while the page is initially loading.

Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
document.form.room[1].checked=true;
</SCRIPT>

<form name="form">
<INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="room" VALUE="Test"> Test
<INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="room" VALUE="Cream"> Cream
<INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="room" VALUE="Red">Red
</form>


On loading this page I would like Cream to be checked. How can I do that? document.form.room[1].checked=true; is not working!

Thanks

Question
But that would mean that its static, 'Red' would be checked everytime the page is loaded? What if I was to check the radio button depending on some value that was entered in the previous page?

Send a message via ICQ to Onslaught
then use the onLoad even in the body tag to call a javascript function that would set the radio button or your choice checked.

Yes, but AFAIK this is XHTML syntax and thus not downward compatible.

Yes, that is XHTML, which I had thought to be backwards compatible with HTML.
