Help with Radio Buttons in Form

Hi. I have inherited a website that has a simple form. I have
been asked to edit the form adding 4 radio buttons to collect the
consumer's satisfaction with the content of the website. I have
added the radio buttons using Dreamweaver MX, however, they do not
work as I expected them to. I was under the impression that radio
buttons did not allow the user to select more than one option
because when the user selected a different option, the first option
was unselected. My form is currently allowing all four options to
be selected at the same time. The code for the form is below. I
have changed the @ in the email address of the form to prevent
possible spam. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like you need to change the name= to the same on
each radio button, if they all have the same name then you can only
check one. Then click the form in the behaviors panel and be sure
the radio button name is inserting into the proper db
column.

Help with Radio Buttons & Combo Box for Flash Form that sends email

I'm having a bit of a hard time with a Flash form that I'm working on.
I've got the basic text fields working fine, but I'm not sure how to retrieve the values from the Radio Button and Menu List components.
The PHP script pulls the values from the text fields with:
$contact_name = $_POST['name'];
$contact_email = $_POST['email'];
$contact_subject = $_POST['subject'];
but using
$radioGroup = $_POST['radioGroup'];
doesn't retrieve the selected radio button value.
The radio buttons have a groupName of "radioGroup". The combo box component doesn't even show up in the HTML version, but does in the .swf.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction to pull these values from these components and get them passed to the PHP form? The native .FLA and the php file are here for reference:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/21984/flashform.zip
My solution needs to be ActionScript 2.
Thanks!

again, you assign a variable. the selected radiobutton's data and/or label isn't going to magically be sent to the php file.
for example, if you have sendLV and receiveLV loadvars instances, you can use:
sendLV.rbData=yourradiogroup.selection.data;
sendLV.yourothervariables=yourothervariables;
sendLV.sendAndLoad("yourphp.php",receiveLV,"POST");

Help with radio buttons

Hi, I am new to forms and and want to create several radio button fields each with two choices, I want the field to be required so that the recipient has to choose either choice 1 or choice 2.
Problem I am having is that when I set the field to required it sets both choices to required and when testing the form I cannot submit it because one or more required fields are incomplete. Is there a work around or should I be using another type of check box?

Thank you for your prompt response - I have no experience or knowledge about writing script although from what you wrote this would seem to be the remedy to my problem. For the time being I will have to uncheck the required field option and rely on the recipients completing the form correctly.
Hopefully over a period of time I will learn how to write the appropriate script.
Thanks for your help and advice

Help with radio buttons and show/hide javascript

Hi. I'm new working with LiveCycle and also pretty much at a basic/beginner level of javascripting. I'm creating a pdf fillable form and one of the tasks I've been given is to add a function where if Option A is chosen by the user, then the correspondng table will appear, and if Option B is chosen another table will appear. After some searching I Iearned more about how radio buttons can be used, so I created a set of radio buttons. I have tried several different things, the latest was making both tables "hidden", and then taking to the radio button list group and applying the show/hide script to each of the radio buttons in the group. Still nothing seems to be working as I want it to. The table remains hidden when I click on the . This is what the code looks like right now. I know I'm obviously doing something wrong, this seems like such a basic thing to code. Getting to the frustration point, if you can sort me out with what I am missing/overlooking please let me know. Many thanks!
Note. The radio buttons are not in the same table, they are higher up in the form outside of the tables that I am trying to show/hide, but they are in the same subform. I don't know if that might be an issue?
form1.#subform[0].RadioButtonList::click - (JavaScript, client)
form1.#subform[0].RadioButtonList.#field[0]::click - (JavaScript, client)
   if ( RadioButtonList.#field[0].selectedIndex == 1)
     form1.#subform[0].Table1_Work.presence = "visible"
   else
   form1.#subform[0].Table1_Work.presence = "hidden"
form1.#subform[0].RadioButtonList.#field[1]::click - (JavaScript, client)
   if ( RadioButtonList.#field[1].selectedIndex == 2)
    form1.#subform[0].Table1_Official.presence = "visible"
else
     form1.#subform[0].Table1_Official.presence = "hidden"

Hi,
For starters you have unnamed pages, which is not a good idea. This makes it more difficult to reference objects. In your JavaScript you would have to resolve the node, however the simpliest route would be to name the page first. Something like "page1". Have a look at this example for referencing objects: http://assure.ly/kUP02y.
Next I would not place the script in each of the radio buttons, as this is likely to cause conflicts and is doubling the script. The best place to put the script is in the click event of the radio button exclusion group. This contains all of the radio buttons. See an example here: http://assure.ly/h7whb8 and https://acrobat.com/#d=ALebgueDXjewHjGyYRdrmw.
You syntax for JavaScript if/else statements is potentially incorrect. The script within the statements should be wrapped in curly brackets. While you can get away with it for single lines, I would not be inclined to take that approach. So:
if (a test) {
     // do something
else {
     // do something else
With the radio button exclusion group you can use its rawValue, just specify it in the Object > Binding palette. So on the basis of chaning the page name:
if (this.rawValue == "1") {
     page1.Table1_Work.presence = "visible";
else {
     page1.Table1_Work.presence = "hidden";
There is a syntax checker button in the Script Editor that should highlight errors.

Help with radio buttons in jsp

I have a form with 6 radio button sets with each set containing three radio buttons. User can select different combination of the radio buttons.. Once the user is finshed selecting the radio buttons I need to pass a message to back end on the selection criteria. The format of the message is to put the same kind of radio buttons in together so say ....
I have radio buttons like this ...
N/A Verify NotVerify
rb rb rb (set 1)
rb rb rb (set 2)
rb rb rb (set 3)
rb rb rb (set 4)
rb rb rb (set 5)
rb rb rb (set 6)
Not if they click verify for 1 and 3 sets and NotVerify for 2,4,6 and N/A for 5 then the String I need to pass to the back end should look like this.....
;set2, set4; set6 (set1, set3) i.e group together I type of selection ....
any ideas how can I do it I will greatly appreciate it.
Sorry I post it on the wrong message board before
Thanks

Okay, let's say you had this HTML code
<tr>
<td><radio name="set1" value="na">N/Z</td>
<td><radio name="set1" value="verify">Verify</td>
<td><radio name="set1" value="notverify">Not Verify</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><radio name="set2" value="na">N/Z</td>
<td><radio name="set2" value="verify">Verify</td>
<td><radio name="set2" value="notverify">Not Verify</td>
</tr>
... and so on.
Why not create 3 vectors, one for each case, and add the necessary string to the vector (or whatever object you need in the backend).
You could get use request.getParameterNames to get the names of all the sets, loop through that getting the values, and then check to see which it is and add to the vector. I would, thinking about it, use ints instead of strings as the value of the buttons, so you could actually use a switch statement to determine which vector add to. Not saying by any means this is the most effective way, but just one off the top of my head that might lead you in the right direction.

Help With Radio Buttons -- URGENT!!

Hi i am new to using UI compents in flash.
Basically i havnt a clue where to start.
Just some simple action script will help and be much
appreciated if someone can give me it.
Basically i have a question to ask which requires radio
buttons to answer the question.
I have a question and the answers are A, B, C, D.
I want:
A to equal 1
B to equal 2
C to equal 3
D to equal 4
E to equal 5
Would someone be able to tell me how to set up the radio
button so that the value of the radio button is stored into an
array called SCORE.
i dont need a tutor for arrays, i can do them, i just need
help with the radio buttons so a reference to an array would be
enough, eg how to store the answer from the radio button in an
array.
Thank you

Place the radio buttons on the stage and set their parameters
to what you need. Make sure that for each group of radio buttons
you give them the same group name. Then you could use something
like this:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
var answerArr:Array = new Array();
listenerObject.click = function(eventObj:Object) {
answerArr.push(eventObj.target.selectedData);
trace(answerArr);
radioGroup.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
radioGroup refers to the group name for the buttons.
eventObj.target will refer to the actual radio button
clicked.

I want to build a form with radio buttons to limited clients ticking every option.

I want to build a form with radio buttons to limited clients ticking every option. I have a range of products and in order to quote accurately I want to get specific information.

If I get this , you want to show form options to specific clients not to all site viewers ?
You would need to create a secure zone for this where permitted viewers can login and view the form with all options , in form itself we cannot setup this as few customers will view other options and others will view a different one.
This can be done from your hosting end. Or if you are using Adobe server for hosting then you can create some profiles for customers and then setup a separate form altogether to achieve this.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How do I move a table with radio buttons to another page?

I created a document in Word, converted to PDF, added a page (which was created in Adobe Forms Central, only way to get a table with radio buttons - see below for example).
The issue I have is whilst using the Trial of Adobe XI Pro I was able to move this table up a page and place it under the header. Now that the trial has run out I cannot complete this task with other documents.
I started to edit using LiveCycle but it won't let me move the table.
We have Acrobat X Pro but when I go to edit, it directs me to edit in LiveCycle. I have tried moving the table using all of these programs. Can anyone help/guide please?

Thank you for your reply. I am new to editing a pdf and using these programs. I have subscribed to Acrobat XI Pro. When I try to edit the document it directs me to LiveCycle. I cannot move the table in LiveCycle. It won't let me, and I cannot make changes in XI Pro as I did in the trial as it directs me to edit in LiveCycle. Am going in circles.

How do I change the text in a field with radio buttons or check box?

Hi All:
I have a form that has a list of things with check boxes (could be done with radio buttons) at the bottom. The client wants a single field at the top of the form that repeats the text next to the checkboxes. For example if a user checks the box next to the words "You did thing 1 wrong" the client wants "You did thing 1 wrong" to appear in this text box at the top of the form. If the user checks the box next to the words "You did thing 2 wrong" the client wants the words "You did thing 2 wrong" to appear in the magic box at the top of the page. There are 10 different check box options, so the box at the top would need to be able to have 10 different things in it.
Client is not interested in a drop down menu. I asked.
I am in a bit over my head here, so my question is twofold.
1. Can you do this in Acrobat Pro 10 on a Mac?
2. Can you supply me with code?
Thanks in Advance,
Amy W.

Create a text field and make this script its custom calculation script :
     var a ="";
     if (this.getField("Check1").value == "Yes"){
     a="You did thing 1 wrong";
     event.value = a;
Also, replace "Check1" with the name of your check box or radio button, and give it an export value of "Yes".

Dynamic table with radio buttons

I need to load a dynamic table with radio buttons that allow
the user to select an item in the table. I need to have it add a
radio button with a unique identifier for each table item.
For example: the table will load all of the seminars
locations available in a certain state, the radio button will allow
the user to select the city in which they would like to attend and
that value will get passed to the registration page. The value of
each radio button would be equal to the location_id in the database
for each of the locations in the table (The table includes the
date, day, venue, address, hotel info, etc. details for each city.)
When I add dynamic radio buttons and set the value to the
location_id in the database, it allows the user to select multiple
radio buttons. I cannot find any information on how to
resolve.....??
Any help is appreciated.

Give each radio button the same name

$recordset['location_id'] ?>">

I need help with a 1 Page Form with scrollable text field (5000 limit characters) and printing

Hello, I have no training in using Adobe Acrobat Pro or Livecycle Designer so I need major help with a 1 page form that I am attempting to create. Basically the form will be used to nominate employees for a Job Well Done Award.
The form contains the following:
1.) The name(s) of the employees being nominated and the date of the accomplishment.
2.) In the middle of the page I have a section for a write up, limited to 5000 characters, this is were I am needing the most help. A couple of things, about this section: The font is set at 11 and I don't want it to change. The text field has multiple-line, scroll long text enabled. The text field is a certain size and can only hold so much text, then it starts to scroll, which I am ok with, I like that feature. The issue I am having is during printing. I would like to keep the text field scrollable but when I print I would like to be able to print everything in that field. Executing this is the problem, I have no clue how to do it. I was hoping for some setting within Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle to be available, but the more I read and research this, it appears that it may require java, xml, basically some coding. I don't know for sure.
3.) Below the text field I have another field for the person nominating to type their name and right next to that another field for a digital signature.
4.) And finally below those two fields I have a Submit button that is setup to start email application so the form can be emailed to the proper inbox.
Thank you in advance.

With an Acrobat form the only thing you can do is export the text to
another location (like a blank field on another page) or to another file
format. With an LCD form you can expand the text box itself, but you'll
need to ask about that over at the LCD Scripting forum.

you can't use the button itself if you want to maintain the
DOWN state after
release as button automatically resets itself once the mouse
lives the HIT zone.
Use movie clip instead and on press simply send it to a frame
where there
is DOWN state like image.
