I have three radio buttons, and they are all set to unchecked. If the user selects one, is there a way of resetting them back to unselected?
Here is the breakdown.
1. 3 radioBTNs are unselected
2. user clicks on one and selects it
3. the user then selects a CHECKBOX in the same form while will then reset ALL 3 radioBTNs
Is it possible?
THANKS

I have three radio buttons, and they are all set to unchecked.One should always be selected by default.
If the user selects one, is there a way of resetting them back to unselected?Yes, but why would you want to do that. What purpose does it serve?

i am using div tags to reveal and hide certain elements of a form depending on what the user chooses. if they change there mind on one section of the form then it would reset the radio buttons so that i am not receiving input from those fields.

This sort of thing should be based around logic, not trickery. For a start, it's useless when client-side scripting is disabled (or someone decides to be naughty and bypasses those checks).
