so, am I correct that you have 3 radio buttons that allow you to set the search criteria such as:
O - Alpha
O - Beta
O - Gamma
And you want to be able to determine which of the 3 is "clicked"....
this might be ugly....
Can you read the URL into the clipboard?
It may be that the search criteria is in the URL and is parseable....
Report back whatever you learn.
This is a good trick to know...
