Smileys in a radio button

Avatar

Former Community Member

Hello all,

I would like to add a mutually-exclusive choice as part of a quality survey. So I want three radio buttons, without text, but instead I want to display smileys (satisfied, soso and unsatisfied).

I cannot find how to include an image into the text caption, or change its type to insert my smiley into each radio button. or maybe another option would be to add an action to each smiley image, so it can be selected.

Does anyone know how to do that ?

Thanks in advance.

Use a dingbat font such as Windings.

Or download smily icons and place beside the radio buttons. Radzmar's idea is also a best option.

Hi,

Try This.

Font Type : Windings, Type the text without the quotes.

Satisfied : "J"

So so : "K"

Un satisfied : "L"

Thanks,

Bibhu.

Hello Bibhu,

Thanks a lot, it works fine. But it still doesn't answer my question. I

mean it is convenient that I wanted to insert smileys. But what if I want

to insert another type of image (for instance a company survey for a new

logo, to know what people in the company prefer).

I still don't know how to do that: insert images within a

mutually-exclusive radio-button group. Do you know ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Tulla.

You cannot place images into a radio button group.

But you can place image fields beside the group and remove the captions of the radio buttons.

I want to stick my two cents in about using Windings in any documents. They will cause the JAWS screen reader for the blind to read like a drunken monkey and will bounce all over the page after it encounters one. You can use ALT text which is JAWS friendly and get a smiley face by holding down the ALT key and typing a 1 or a 2.

Can images be placed on any of the buttons in LiveCycle? I.e. "Button, or "Reset Button" selections. I don't see an option for this like Adobe Acrobat had.

No, you need to place a button over top of an image. You can make the button invisible by turning off borders and background colours and deleting any text in the button.
