Hi, I am NOT very fluent in JavaScript, so I apologize upfront if this appears silly.

I took over the design/development of a website and it had a page created using asp, which I had to convert to php. But now the JavaScript doesn’t seem to work.

The error I keep getting in IE is:

Message: Object expected  
Line: 96  
Char: 1  
Code: 0

The html code that calls the function is as follows:

```auto
<input type="radio" name="donationAmount" id="donationAmount" value="10.00">
<input type="radio" name="donationAmount" id="donationAmount" value="20.00">
<input type="radio" name="donationAmount" id="donationAmount" value="30.00">
<input type="radio" name="donationAmount" id="donationAmount" value="40.00">
<input type="submit" value="Paypal" onclick="submitform('paypal');">
<input type="submit" value="Paygate" onclick="submitform('paygate');">

```

And the JavaScript function is like this:[FONT=monospace]

```auto
<script>
function submitform(whichform)
{
 
document.forms['paypalform'].amount.value = getRadioValue();
document.forms['paygateform'].AMOUNT.value = parseFloat(getRadioValue().replace('.','')* 7.4);
 
if (whichform == 'paypal')
    {
       
        document.forms['paypalform'].submit();
    }
else {
 
   
    document.forms['paygateform'].submit();
    }
 
}
 
 
function getRadioValue() {
            for (index=0; index < document.amounts.donationAmount.length; i++) {
                if (document.amounts.donationAmount*.checked) {
                    var radioValue = document.amounts.donationAmount*.value;
                    break;
                }
            }
       
        return radioValue;
 
    }
 
 
</script>

```
