Radio Buttons

For example, you might have a group of Radio Buttons that all have a Form Tag of "fruit". The individual Buttons in the group could have Button Labels and Value Tags of Banana, Apple, Orange, and Kiwi. When you submit the form, the value of the "fruit" field is the selected fruit.

Add a Radio Button:

1. Position the cursor where you want the Radio Button to be.
2. Click the Radio button on the form palette to see Radio Button window.
3. Specify values for Form Tag, Button Label, and Value.
   • The Form Tag is the name of the field. All Radio Buttons with the same Form Tag are part of the same field. Only one button may be selected at a time.
   • The Button Label is the text that follows the button, and therefore identifies it, in your page. It is not submitted with the form.
   • The Value is the field value. Each Value must be unique within a group of Radio Buttons with the same Form Tag. When the form is submitted, a string like "Form_Tag=Value" is included, where Value is the Value of the selected option.
   • If Default is selected, this Radio Button is on when the Form is reset. There can be no more than one default radio button with the same Form Tag.
4. Click OK to insert the Radio Button at the cursor position within the form.

Check Boxes

Add a Check Box:

1. Position the cursor where you want the Check Box to be.
2. Click the Check button on the form palette to see the Checkbox window.
3. Specify values for Form Tag, Button Label, and Value and You may also click Checked.
   • The Form Tag is the name of the field. Each field must have a unique name, unless you want this check box to be a part of a radio field.
   • The Button Label is the text that follows the check box, and therefore identifies it, in your page. It is not submitted with the form to the server.
   • The Value is the field value when this check box is checked. If a check box contains a check mark, a string like "Form_Tag=Value" is included when the form is submitted. You can have multiple check boxes with the same Form Tag and different values. If multiple check boxes with the same Form Tag are checked, a string like "FormTag=Value1,Value2,...ValueN" is sent.
   • If Checked is selected, this Check Box is turned on by default when the Form is displayed. More than one check box with the same Form Tag may be Checked.
4. Click OK to insert the Check Box at the cursor position within the form.
