to check(to set to true), I am using JavaScript as follows

first_question.checked == true;

and its working fine, but its not working when I am trying to reset(uncheck, or trying to set its value to false). Here is the code:

first_question.checked == false;

Is anyone knows what wrong with this code?

Thanks!

Hi,

Neither should work. You are using the comparison symbol instead of the assignment symbol.

question1.checked == true is asking if the statement is true.

If you want to assign a value, you need to use 1 equal sign. As in:
question1.checked = true;
question1.checked = false;

If you want to know if it is checked or not, you use:

if (question1.checked)

you do not need to say "== true" or "== false".

Sorry that was typo error, I was using
first_question.checked == true;

first_question.checked = false;

last_question.checked = false;

I guess it was nescape, which was causing problems
