Forms- Radio buttons

Hi,
I've got a form that has radio buttons included which work fine. But what I want is, when a particular radio button is clicked then a new sub-menu will appear, and there will be a different sub-menu for each radio button. Apologies if I haven't explained it that well but I will post any clarifications should you need them.
Thanks.

You want to do a search for javascript and dependant radio buttons. You should be able to get a script pretty quick.

Form Radio Buttons or Checkboxes not created in Acrobat 9 Pro

If this needs to be placed in another forum, please just let me know.
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro - current version - 9.4.3.
I am using Word 2010
I am running Windows 7
I have created a simple form in Word. Using the guidelines from the white paper - Acro9_designforms.pdf provided by Adobe, those fields where I want a radio button insert a checkbox instead when running the Form Wizard in Acrobat.
My sample is exactly the same as in the sample used in the white paper.
I used a circle symbol from the Wingdings font, as recommended by Adobe.
Salutation
O Mr.
O Ms.
O Dr.
The end result is still a checkbox, even though it is a circle in the display.
What am I doing wrong?
I do not want to use LiveCycle Designer, as once the form is created in LiveCycle, the form fields can no longer be edited in Acrobat and I must maintain the ability to edit in Acrobat.
Thank you for your assistance.

Oh, the Wizard is a fabulous tool for basic forms. And, since Adobe has given an extensive list of 'guidelines', which is what I am testing, I thought I would ask for feedback from those who do use it and from those who have had success in using it.
The Wizard is mostly terrific, if you use the guidelines when setting up the source document. It saves a lot of manual field creation and fixing later. This one, though, is not working as expected. So, I might be doing something wrong and the responses I seek are from those who have had success with the feature - not with manual workarounds, which of course we know can be achieved. :)
Nothing is "magic". I don't think either I or Adobe are implying that it should be. However, when they state a feature works in a certain way and I am not getting those results, I like to explore why. Silly me. hahaha
The example I gave in my initial post is the only thing in the form, as I am testing the features for when I present this topic.
I am merely trying to determine if others are having success (or not) when creating their document initially in Word (for example), using the guidelines that Adobe states for Radio Buttons being created. If there is a certain font that someone is having success with other than those stated by Adobe, I would love to know. For me, so far, it is not. If it's user error, then I would love to know from someone who has had success.
Here is what Adobe states as part of their Radio Button form field guidelines when setting up a document in Word, for example:
§ Use circular objects or numbered buttons to in a single row or column to indicate radio buttons.
§ Use group labels to the left of or above each radio button group – otherwise they will default to check boxes. Field names are determined from the group labels and individual button labels from the text to the right of each location.
§ Use the following text labels to have radio buttons created automatically: Yes/No, M/F, Male/Female, Mr/Mrs/Miss/Dr.
§ Use one of the following group labels to have radio buttons created automatically: Salutation, Sex, Occupation.
thanks

Acrobat 9-forms-Radio buttons print different than check boxes

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to create forms.
I've used both radio buttons and check boxes (that are circles).
Forms were designed in InDesign with Zapf Dingbats as the open circles to be filled in.
I used radio buttons when the user had to pick one over the other.
I used check boxes when there were multiple choices or I wanted the user to be able to uncheck a box. (I used the circle style so they would look like radio buttons).
The radio buttons are printing differently than the check boxes. It looks almost like there is an overlay on top of the actual open circle created by Zapf Dingbats.
I checked the "appearance" window and there is no border or fill color on the radio buttons (same for the check boxes).
Under the <general> tab, <common properties> is visible. I'm assuming it should be in order for the radio button to appear on the form.
I would appreciate any input as to how to fix this.
Thansk!
Maureen

That's just the way radio buttons are, and one reason I rarely use them in preference to check boxes. If Adobe wanted to, they could allow you to use any appearance you want for both the selected an unselected state of a check box or radio button, but they've actually further restricted your options over the years.

Adobe Form- Radio Button!!

Hi Experts,
I am working on the Adobe Form in which the data is coming from the Backend RFC. So my DataSource is binded to the Bapi node.
Now my requirement is to add Radio Button for which I have defined in the Dictionary SimpleTypes and binded an attribute to it.
The problem is since my DataSource in the PDF Form is already binded to the Bapi node I cant get the data for the Radoi button from the attribute(Dictionary simpleType).
Can somebody suggest me how to go about it in my case. Any useful Help will be given points.
thanks,
Vikram..

Hi,
You will have to define a value node and then copy values from model node to value node. This way you can define additional attrbute apart from the atributes for data.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Forms - Radio Buttons as check boxes which turn into circles - Need them to stay as check boxes.

Hi
I am working on some forms for Teachers Reports it is a generic document for student reports. I have set the document in Indesign 6 and edited the pdf form in Acrobat Pro.
The form consists of Radio Buttons (Check Boxes) as they have to score the child between 1-4 and the teacher is only allowed to select 1 box from out of the 4 boxes (hence radio buttons) .
The problem we are having is that there might be 2-3 teachers that have to write and score each child's in a certain section of the report and they might use a PC or MAC to do this.
For some reason, some of the reports have changed the Radio Button "Check Boxes" to a "Circle" both in the PDF and when printing and they need it to be a Check box. (In indesign this was set to Check Box and to print as a Check box)
Some how after the teachers have used different computers the check boxes have changed to circles and we need to change them back to check boxes but is there a way to change them without having to go "Forms" > "Edit" > "Select all circles" > "Properties" > "Options" > "Button Styles" > "Change to Check".
But it is not changing to all of the reports on some.
Is there an easier option can select properties and search the "circles" and change to "check boxes" for the whole document?
I really don't want to have to go into each report and have to change each individually or export and import the data in the forms and the teachers dont want to have to rewrite each report.
Someone please help!

Are all of the teachers using Adobe Reader (or Acrobat), as opposed to something like Preview on tha Mac or Microsoft Reader on Windows? Preview is known to corrupts PDF form in a number of ways, including converting radio buttons to check boxes. Microsoft Reader causes other types of corruption. Also, if you create the fields in InDesign, it uses non-standard appearances for the various states and even Reader/Acrobat doesn't always set them in the way you might expect, so it's best to create them in Acrobat.
Your description is a bit confusing since you're calling them radio buttons and check boxes at the same time. Can you clarify what the original field type is?
It is possible to set the various field appearance properties with a script, which could loop through all of the fields and make the needed changes, but without more information about what's causing the changes and exactly what the changes are, it's hard to suggest anything specific.

Cant fill a form (radio button)

Hey.
I frequently need to fill a form and I cant do so with my Ipad because at certain point I need to select an option with a radio button and the Ipad doesnt recognize it. The form also has square box and there I dont have a problem, I can check it. But when it comes to the radio (circular) button, I cant hit it and fill it.
Why is this so?
Thanks.
(Sorry for my poor english)

Radio button can be selected using the Safari App on the iPad, but the website has to be at least somewhat coded for mobile viewing. See if you can zoom in on the screen before tapping the radio button, this sometimes help. If in the end, you are still unable to complete it, try another browser like Chrome. Some websites don't play nice with mobile devices and touch screens so you may get mixed results. Apple uses Radio buttons in the forgot.apple.com website as well as many other I'm assuming and they all function fine from the iPad screen, so it is more than likely just the website you are utilizing. Good Luck.

Form/Radio Button/Email Question

How can I fix the form on http://www.cec-waterjet.com/Contact/index.html so that it sends an email to the contact whose radio button is selected?

The script you have now should work, it's just not very secure. I meant find a different script where, instead of entering the actual email address in the recipient field, you entered a key or index that points to the address that's been entered somewhere in the script or configuration file, so the email address isn't anywhere in the HTML. I've got an (old-ish) PHP script that works that way here:
http://www.mindpalette.com/scripts/index.php#NMAnchor
...but if you need another CGI script like you've already got, I don't have any specific recommendations, sorry. It was just a suggestion :-)
I removed your code from your message #2 to try to prevent that from getting spam harvested.

Radio Buttons - Vertical versus Horizonal

In WebDB 2.2, I was able to get my form radio buttons to go across the page rather than down by adjusting the input width
of the row that they were on, making the width fairly wide. In portal, I cannot get this to occur.
Looking at the HTML source generated, portal puts a <BR> at the end of each button option, and WebDB does not.
Any way to accomplish this? Thanks.

Hi
You can achieve this custom forms. But the lov should be a static one. I am giving a sample below
to explain better.
Example
Create a custom form based on scott.emp. Run the form and from the html source copy the radio button tags.
Edit the form and goto the custom section and replace <TD><#DEPTNO.ITEM#></TD> with copied tags and remove
the <br> tags. It would look like something below
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01" VALUE=" ">
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01"
VALUE="10">ACCOUNTING
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01"
VALUE="20">RESEARCH
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01"
VALUE="30">SALES
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01"
VALUE="40">OPERATIONS
You might run into problems if you change the form, because you are changing the way forms usually works. This is not
a documented way of rendering radio buttons. Everytime you edit the form to add or remove columns you might have to
redo the above steps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Enable/disable/defaulting the radio button in tabular Form

Hi friends,
I have one radio button column in my tabular form with 3 values for it.
<li>FC
<li>BC
<li>EC
I need to enable/disable the radio buttons according to the position of the user.
If the position of the user is CEO means,
then FC radio button has to be checked defaultly and also for him he needs to have BC and EC radio buttons to be enabled.
If the position of the user is between(1-4) grades means,
then FC radio button has to be disabled, but BC radio button has to be checked defaultly and also for him he needs to have EC radio buttons to be enabled.
If the position of the user is between(4-6) grades means,
then FC, BC radio button has to be disabled, but EC radio button has to be checked defaultly.
How i can achieve this radio button enabling/disabling and defaulting it dynamically according to the user.
Where i need to specify this kind of restriction inorder to work for me in my application.
Brgds,
Mini

Hi Bob,
thanks for your reply first, and your suggestion too.
I tried in the below manner on the lov definition of my radio button and it hide/shown according to the user who logs into the application.
SELECT 'FC' d, 'FC' r FROM DUAL WHERE lower(:APP_USER) = (select lower(user_name) from apps.xxhy_ams_details_v where upper(job_name) = 'CEO')
UNION ALL
SELECT 'BC' d, 'BC' r FROM DUAL WHERE lower(:APP_USER) IN (select lower(user_name) from apps.xxhy_ams_details_v where grade_name
BETWEEN 1 and 4 OR lower(:APP_USER) = (select lower(user_name) from apps.xxhy_ams_details_v where upper(job_name) = 'CEO'))
UNION ALL
SELECT 'EC' d, 'EC' r FROM DUALBut how i can check the radio button defaultly according to the user who logs in .
<li> If the employee with the position CEO logs into the application means, he needs to have FC to be checked defaultly.
<li> If the employee with the grade between(1-4) logs into the application means, he needs to have BC to be checked defaultly.
<li> If the employee with the grade between(5-12) logs into the application means, he needs to have EC to be checked defaultly.
Note:
Instead of hide/show the radio buttons defaultly whether it is possible to enable/disable the radio button according to the user who logs into the application.
Brgds,
Mini...

Radio Buttons w/ Multiple Values on a PHP Form

Hi,
I have an Online Registration form with several options that each have their own prices. I want the form results to show the name of each option the user selects, and the total of all the prices combined. My question is how can I do that when each radio button only allows you to attach one value? Is there a way to somehow retrieve the option name and price as two separate values?
<input name="option" type="radio" value="Cotton - $10" />
<input name="option" type="radio" value="Suede - $15" />
<input name="option" type="radio" value="Leather - Black - $20" />
<input name="option" type="radio" value="Leather - White - $20" />
For example, if they select 'Leather - Black - $20" I want to be able to retrieve one value of "Leather - Black" and another value of "20.00" (to add to the total price) rather than simply "Leather - Black - $20" in one value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've only had to deal with one value for each radio button in the past.
Thanks!
Paul

Yes you can do this. If I were you I would eliminate the space in the value just to eliminate confusion. Then when you process the variable use the Explode function ( http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php ) to separate the values in your string. So if you eliminate the space your code would look like:
$_POST['option'] = $option;
$option = explode ("-",$option);
print $option[0]; //This would print the material
print $option[1]; //This would print the price
The only trick is your first two options don't have a color. So your arrays would be different. To offset this I would recommend that you use the same format for all options and make some sort of null value if nothing will be added for one value in the array, ie: color.

Can 3 vertical Radio Buttons span 3 rows in a table? AND how to make form highlight when radio butto

I am trying to add 3 grouped vertical radio buttons where one is on each line of a 3 row table. When I group the 3 buttons it squeezes them into one row, is there a way I can have them grouped and one in each.
Also, I would like to know how to make part of the form highlight when one of the 3 buttons is selected

Hi,
If I am not wrong, a table cell can hold only one component or none. In order to place the radio group to different positions vertically, you can use subforms instead of table.

My form has a list of yes or no questions. I want to use either cheboxes or radio buttons. Unfortunatly I can't make it work. When I check yes for one question, it marks all yes answers for all other questions. If I mark some radio buttons to answer, it unmarks later. Need immediate help!!!

Is it that you are using a PDF-based form? Did you copy and paste the Yes/No fields all the way down your form? If so, then all of the yes/no boxes are copies of each other and have the same name and properties in the PDF.
For example, if you had:
     Question 1 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 2 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 3 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 4 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
Then whatever answer you selected in Question 1 would populate down through the rest of the form.
Changing the Yes/No field properties in questions two through four would eliminate the problem.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Using a radio button in cfmail / form.

Hello;
This is a silly question, but I can't remember how to program in radio buttons for a cfmailer. I have 3 radio buttons, basically, I just need to know what the users choice was when they checked it off. The following is my radio buttons and what I have for code right now. But I'm not grabbing the proper variable, I also tried dumping a few diffrerent variables to see if I could get it.
<input name="type" type="radio" onClick="setVisibility('sub3', 'inline');setVisibility('sub4','none');setVisibility('sub5','none');" value='male' checked="checked"/>Magnets
<input type="radio" name="type" value='female' onClick="setVisibility('sub3', 'none');setVisibility('sub4','inline');setVisibility('sub5', 'none');"/>Paper Steel
<input type="radio" name="type" value='child' onClick="setVisibility('sub3', 'none');setVisibility('sub4','none');setVisibility('sub5', 'inline');"/> both
on my response page, I tried this:
<cfif form.type EQ "male">
if this was their choice, then this set of rules would apply
</cfif>
and so on for the other two choices. This isn't catching my buttons, what am I doing wrong? do I need to make a paramiter for the radio buttons before I can allow it to function? like this?
<cfparam name="FORM.type" default="">
then I can use my if statement? (that isn't working right now either)
here is what I'm trying to dump:
<cfdump var="#form.type#">
<cfabort>
</cfdump>
How do I do this? Can anyone help me?

I suspect that you have a problem in some portion of your code that you have not posted. To help debugging I suggest you create a simple test using two pages: input.cfm and action.cfm. Get the most simple case working then add the javascript, css, and CF code to make your application work.

<html>
<head>
     <title>Input</title>
</head>
<body>
     <form action="action.cfm" method="POST">
          Choose type: <br />
          <input name="type" type="radio" value="male" />     Male<br />
          <input name="type" type="radio" value="female" /> Female<br />
          <input type="submit" />
     </form>
</body>
</html>

<html>
<head>
     <title>Action</title>
</head>
<body>
     <cfif form.type eq "male">
          Type is male.
     <cfelseif form.type eq "female">
          Type is female.
     </cfif>
     Here is a cfdump of the form variables:<br />
     <cfdump var="#form#" />
</body>
