Ok, since this answer is correct, but does not explain how, I'll give 
it a try. If you find any bugs, please correct them!
Let's say you have a form named "myForm", containing two radiobuttons 
("radio1" and "radio2"). It also contains a submit button (which is an 
input-tag with the type "button", don't use a type "submit" button), 
with it's onClick event triggering the following function:
function mySubmit()
{
  //This gets the value of the checked radiobutton
  //if any is selected. If no one is selected it returns
  // "unchecked"
  var radioValue = document.myForm.radio1.checked?
                      document.myForm.radio1.value:
                      (document.myForm.radio2.checked?
                         document.myForm.radio2.value:
                         "unchecked");
  //Now if any radiobutton was checked we change the action of the
  //form, corresponding to the checked radiobutton and submit the 
  //form. If not, we alert the user
  if (radioValue != "unchecked")
  {
    document.myForm.action = radioValue;
    document.myForm.submit();
  }
  else
    alert("Please select any of the radiobuttons before submitting");
}
I hope that will help you,
