Activate Pull Down Menu With Radio Button... (2 Problems)

Morning,

I have a PHP page where I was asked to divide a simple pull down menu into a series of radio buttons and pull down menu for detail.

Problem 1: If "Newspaper" is selected (which is the first radio button), the pull down menu will be active and let you select the specific newspaper. If any radio button except "Newspaper" is chosen then the pull down menu should be grayed out and not be able to be used. Right now, it is active all the time. How do I turn off the pull down when the "Newspaper" radio button is not selected?

Problem 2: If the newspaper radio button and a specific newspaper is selected in the pull down (Ex: nationalpost) this value is written into the database field (source_type) properly. If any other radio buttons are clicked nothing appears in the source_type database field. I need the value of the selected radio button or newspaper value written to this field. What am I missing?

Code appended below. Thanks.

this will all be done with Javascript.

 

OK, I got the pull down menu to shut off correctly with JS. Thanks! Now I just need to solve the database posting issue.

 

The first part of this form, where it asks for a name and password works fine. If I select a specific newspaper it is posted into the table properly too. It is just the radio buttons that do not get their info posted. Frustrating...

Here is the amended code with Javascript:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
function test(choice)
{
if(choice == 0)
{
if (document.admission.r1[choice].checked)
document.admission.m1.disabled=false;
}
else
{
if (document.admission.r1[choice].checked)
document.admission.m1.disabled=true;
}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>


<p align="center" class="alert"><a href="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>?page=home"><b>&gt;&gt; Existing Applicants Click Here &lt;&lt;</b></a></p>
<h2>Start a New Application</h2>
<form name="admission" method="POST">

if (app_form_errors()) {
?>
