Then change:
<input type="radio" name="r1" value = "0"> No Thanks<br>
to:
<input type="radio" name="r1" value = "0" id="someUniqueId"> No Thanks<br>
and then use the javascript:
document.getElementById("someUniqueId").checked = true;

Yes, brilliant. That did it.

My problem is there are two ways to reset the form. The user can have called 
in the form from different places and the initial radio button value is a 
user value. So a form reset just resets to the initial user value whilst 
this code is just what I needed and it resets the form to a global default 
value for the user to start again.

I am very thankful to everyone who posted. I am fairly home in php and sql 
but quite limited in javascript, I usually google pieces of code and adapt 
them to suit my needs. Biggest problem with this Crome, Safari, Firefox, 
Opera and MSIE treat javascript code differently and whilst php, sql etc 
behave the same everywhere I find javascript to be a pain, its like allowing 
foreign drivers to drive on the same side of the road as they do back home 
and building a road system to allow this. Anyway, gripe over, I'm happy and 
think its wonderful USENET can still outgun message boards and FAQ's in 
2011.
