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

Try this

function findSelection(field) {
    var test = document.getElementsByName(field);
    var sizes = test.length;
    alert(sizes);
    for (i=0; i < sizes; i++) {
            if (test[i].checked==true) {
            alert(test[i].value + ' you got a value');     
            return test[i].value;
        }
    }
}


function submitForm() {

    var genderS =  findSelection("genderS");
    alert(genderS);
    return false;
}
