Radio buttons that pass a value to a textfield

Question

Hi everybody;
I’m trying to create a “Rating Matrix” for the evaluation of new raw material. On this form I create a group of radio buttons (i.e. Radio1 to Radio5).
Each radio represents a rating value “Poor=1, Fair=3, Average=5, Good=7, Excellent=9” and I would like to capture this rating (1 or 3 or 5, etc) into a Texfield.
I work in solving this issue without success, if any of you have any example that I could look at it, I will really appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your fast response! WowWhat I'm trying to do, is being able to pass a value to a TextField depending on the ratio button selected.If I choose one of the ratio buttons of the group "Opacity" (Opacity1, Opacity2, Opacity3, Opacity4 or Opacity5), I like the TextField "Rank" to show the value.If Opacity1 selected, Rank field value = 1.If Opacity2 selected, Rank field value = 3.If Opacity3 selected, Rank field value = 5.If Opacity4 selected, Rank field value = 7.If Opacity5 selected, Rank field value = 9.
You think this can work?
if(Opacity1.value == "On") {Rank.value==1; // value is added to the texfield;}
if(Opacity2.value == "On") {Rank.value==3; // value is added to the texfield;} Else if(Opacity3.value == "On") {Rank.value==5; // value is added to the texfield;}
Sorry not a programmer.I understand the loop, but is not very clear where I need to add this script, on the radio or in the textfield?Thanks.

Do you want to count the occurrence of each value and report that in a given text field?
Do you understand that when no radio button or check box when not selected has a value of the string "Off".
Assuming that the value for various radio buttons in a group is the value you want to test
// custom calculation script;
// count occurrences of "9" values
var nTest = 9; // value to test for;
var nCount = 0; // count of occurrences;
// loop through the fields;
for(i = 1; i < 6; i++) {
var nValue = this.getField("Radio" + i).value;
// test if field value equals test value;
if(nTest == nValue) {
nCount++; // values equal so increment count;
} // end test of field value
} // end field name loop;
event.value = nCount; // set field value;
// end custom calculation script;
