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

You can do something like this:

var radios = document.getElementsByName('genderS');

for (var i = 0, length = radios.length; i < length; i++) {
  if (radios[i].checked) {
    // do whatever you want with the checked radio
    alert(radios[i].value);

    // only one radio can be logically checked, don't check the rest
    break;
  }
}

Gender: 
Male
Female
