Yes they can. In fact, it's required for radio button groups!

Instead of document.forms['formName'].elements['elementName'] referring to a
single input, it will now be a reference to a collection of the inputs with
form name 'elementName'. In fact, the elements with the same name don't even
need to be of the same type!

var inputs = document.forms['formName'].elements;
for (var i=0; i<inputs.length; i++) {
if (inputs[i].value && inputs[i].value=='Edit') {
inputs[i].dislabed = true;
}
}
Although, wouldn't you want to check for the NAME attribute rather than
VALUE?
