**Question:**  
[Clearly ask your question.]  
I have a radio button with 7 options in a cms form on home page  
I want to set its selected option based on which button is clicked on the same page  
these 7 buttons are on different places on the home page and I want to navigate to radio button and set its selected value based on that button click  
thanks

</div>

```js
const changeSelection = value => $w('#radio').value = value

$w('#choice1button').onClick(() => changeSelection('value1'))

```

A basic example:

- `changeSelection` is a function that takes a value and sets it within the radio button
- When the button is clicked, it fires the function with the value assigned to it

Thanks for your quick reply…  
By the way I’ve never done coding with Wix editor  
I’ll be grateful If you could explain how to do this  
meantime I’ll try to figure out how to do this  
Thanks

If you’re using the legacy Wix Editor, you can enable “Dev Mode” through the toolbar on the top of the screen

If you’re using Wix Studio, the bottom-most icon on the left menu should allow you to enable code
