I am creating a form for a design company; there are several radio buttons that are required for submission. I want to create a button that when clicked, shows nothing if all required radio buttons are selected. If required radio buttons have not been selected, I want a pop up stating "Please select all required radio buttons" to appear. I have searched forums for days and nothing seems to be working properly.

Radio button groups (and check boxes) have a value of "Off" when unselected. For example, if one of the radio button groups is named "Group1", then this code (on a button) could be used to validate a selection.

if(this.getField("Group1").value == "Off")

app.alert("Please select an entry for the Group 1 Radio Buttons");
