I don't see any script in that example so if anything does not work or
does not work as you want it why do you ask in a JavaScript group?

I am not sure I understand what you are looking for. Do you want to read
out the value of the label attribute of an element? Then use
   element.getAttribute('label')
so assuming you have your radio button group inside of a
   <form name="formName">
then you can access the first radio button as
   var radioButton = document.forms.formName.elements.group[0];
   if (radioButton && radioButton.getAttribute) {
     alert(radioButton.getAttribute('label'));
   }
