Creating radio buttons
You can use related radio buttons to ensure that a user selects only one item from a list of
choices. When you create related radio button fields, field names must be the same, and
export values must be different. The export value is the information used by a CGI appli-
cation on a Web server to identify the selected field.
Radio buttons
To create a radio button:
1
Create a form field, as described in
“Creating form fields” on page 145
, and select Radio
Button from the Type menu of the Field Properties dialog box.
2
Click the Options tab.
3
Select a style for the radio button. Circle is the default.
4
Enter an export value (optional) to represent the chosen item if it is exported to a CGI
application. The export value for each radio button must be unique. (See
“Defining CGI
export values” on page 163
.)
5
Select whether you want the radio button to appear selected by default.
Note:
Related radio buttons must have the same name and the export values must be
different.
