You will probably find your radio buttons behave better if you actually
enclose them in "<form> ... </form>" tags!

If you don't want the user to be able to submit the form, don't put an
ACTION attriobute on it, and don't put an <input type="submit"> button
either.

You will also find it hlpful to use the triple-quoted type of string
literal, whioch would (for example) allow you to have written

        if(form["r1"].value==1):
             MaPage=MaPage + """
            <ol>
            <li><input type=radio name="rep1" value="1">
             <li><input type=radio name="rep1" value="2">
             <li><input type=radio name='rep1" value="3">
             <li><input type=radio name="rep1" value="4">
            </ol>
            </body></HTML>"""

This makes it much easier to produce conformant [X]HTML, which we should all
try to do.
