The reason I didn't go into it was I wasn't sure if it answered the
question, but since it may.

If you create some radio buttons on a form in a file called say quest.asp
Then add some script to the header as shown below.

That will go through and test all radio groups called R1 through R2 and all
test cells called T1 throught T1.  You can put multiple individual tests in
if your naming isn't that simple.  The code in the body is to flag up any
skipped questions where no value was submitted, but the submit button was
pressed, ensuring that the messages don't show when the form first loads.

In the header you can do things like write javascript code to call alerts
and other routines which get called from the fail check routine.  This has
been tested briefly and it should work.  Unfortunately I don't have a public
server I can host this on so you can see, but if anyone has an ASP server
and you copy this page, remove the dots and call it QUEST.ASP you should see
how it works.

This isn't the slickest code ever, but it should illustrate the point and
show how you can do validation.
