Creating Forms > Inserting checkboxes and radio buttons > Inserting a radio button |
Use radio buttons when the user must select only one choice from a set of options. Radio buttons are typically used in groups. All radio buttons in a group must have the same name and must contain different field values.
To insert radio buttons:
| 1 | Place the insertion point inside the form outline, then do one of the following: |
| Choose Insert > Form Object > Radio Button. | |
| In the Objects panel's Forms category, click the Insert Radio Button icon | |
| 2 | In the Property inspector's RadioButton Name field, type a descriptive name for the group of choices. |
| Note: If you create multiple radio button interactions in a form, be sure each set of radio buttons has a unique name. | |
| 3 | In the Checked Value field, type the value you want sent to the server-side application or processing script when a user selects this radio button. For example, you might type skiing in the CheckedValue field to indicate a user chose skiing. |
| 4 | For Initial State, click Checked if you want an option to appear selected when the form first loads in the browser. |
Tip: To add additional radio buttons to the group, select the original radio button, then Control-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Macintosh) and change the Checked Value field for each new button.
