JavaScript checking radio buttons

Question

Ok, this is really a simple question but I am really incompetent at JavaScript.

Basically all I have a form with 2 radio buttons on them.

I need a JavaScript statement which basically says

If radiobutton1 is selected then
document.write ("radiobutton1selected")
else if radiobutton2 is selected then
document.write ("radiobutton2selected")

There are similar questions on here i accept but they are all alot more advanced than what i need.

Answer 1

Radio button html:

<input type="radio" name="radionbutton" value="1" id="button1"/>
<input type="radio" name="radionbutton" value="2" id="button"/>

Javascript:

var button1 = document.getElementById("button1");
var button2 = document.getElementById("button2");

if (button1.checked){
    alert("radio1 selected");
}else if (button2.checked) {
    alert("radio2 selected");
}
