[Pro] Radio Button (form ) question

Hi,

I have 2 radio buttons on my page. One says YES and one says NO.

I was wondering if the visitor should be able to click both or if they click YES and then click NO, if it should flip between the two only allowing one button to be filled in.

It seemed to do the proper flipping at first but now it seems, if someone clicks YES then decided it should be NO, then they are both checked.

Any insight would be great.

Thanks.

Barry

i think I fixed it. It may be becuase I changed the NAMES associated with the buttons.

All seems better now.

Also, does anyone know if radio buttons should work on an Android phone?

Buttons do not seem to fill in from my phone but I can fill in the name field.

Thanks!

Yes - as I explained in my previous post - the name HAS to be the same so that you get the either/or button scenario. The Value is the response that is sent to you depending on which button is selected (Yes/No). The Text is the text which is displayed next to the button.

Dont have an Android system to test Radio buttons but I would have thought there shouldn’t be any issues.

all good now!!

thanks Dave.

as far as that thing with the interactive pdf on website… i tested it and did not know that when the person hits submit…it has to open their mail client to send .pdf

this may be trouble

KISS - the PHPFF action is pretty much ideal for something like this - essentially 2 fields, no email clients involved.

Where an interactive PDF has advantages is when there is a more complex form, possibly several pages and the submitter want to print/save a copy for their records.

sorry- meant to say that it was an idea for something else, nothing to do with this 2 field thing.

( i have other ideas and uses)

If you can expand on the idea we can maybe suggest alternatives.
