Mantatory Radio Boxes

[mmgiath]

I have two radio boxes(Male-Female).

Is it possible to have one of the above mantatory(User entered required)?

Thanks

Hi,

As far as I know the radio buttons in an exclusion group are inextricably linked. So when you set the type to "User entered - required" in the Object / Value tab it applies to the whole exclusion group.

This would mean that the user would need to answer the gender question, but that the form would not differentiate between the answer given. Once answered the question would pass validation.

You could probably script a response for a particular answer if you want.

Good luck,

Niall

Niall, Thanks very much all your help!

Is it possible we have the same effect but with two check boxes than radio buttons and how?

Thanks

Hi,

The easiest way is to set the visual properties in the Object / Field tab:

Word of warning - it can be counter intuitive, because when the user sees boxes, it implies that they can make multiple selections. When the user sees radio buttons they know that they can make only one exclusive choice.

I suppose that it depends on your questions and users.

Good luck,

Niall
