Radio button that launches pop up window

Hi,

I have a form with 'Yes' and 'No' radio buttons. When clicking on the 'Yes' button I have a popup window that appears. If 'No' is clicked on, I simply show this as selected with no action.
What I have works for the most part, but I have found that if I first click on 'No' and then click on the 'Yes' button, both radio buttons stay are filled in at the same time (the 'No' button does not clear). Also, if I close the active popup window and then click the 'No', both buttons remain selected. Is there a simple fix for this? I realize it is probably an unorthodox way to use a radio button, but thought I would try. a snippet of code is shown below. Any help or code fix is appreciated.

...
<form="name">
Yes
<input type="radio" name="yesButton" onClick="window.open('my web page','popup', width=380,height=190'); return true;" value="0"/>
No
<input type="radio" name="NoButton" value="No">
</form>

Your welcome.
As for the other part maybe you should consider using links?
I'm sure there are ways to do this just might be easier with links, but if you want to stay with radio buttons just say and I will try to get something together.

Hey thanks, I appreciate any ideas you care to pass along. I kept trying different methods using the radio's but was never satisfied with the result. I am trying some different things, like using standard Windows-like Javascript buttons. I didn't think of incorporating links, but I'll see if I can put something together that way also, just to see what looks best. If I come up with something unique, I'll post it.
