Tabbing thru Radio Buttons correctly

I am cleaning up a form. When I move from one radio button group to the next, I always go to a radio button other than the first one in the group. They aren't moving alphabetically. I have made sure that each radio button has a different value, moving from lowest to highest in the order that I want them to tab, and they appear correctly in the hierarchy.
This has to be something simple...I've searched forums, haven't found anything.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Okay, my first radio button group has two choices - yes/no.
If I select the no button, and then hit tab, it goes to the 2nd button (of 6) in the next group (imagine the buttons are in a 3rowx2column table). Once I'm on the 2nd button, if I hit the down arrow, it goes from 1,3,4,5,6. Tabbing at that point goes to the correct button in the next group.
I hope this makes sense,
thank you.

Tabbing into radio buttons

All radio button groups on my form are skipped when tabbing through the fields, even though the tab order is set correctly.
I did duplicate the radio button groups and change their Names and values to save time, as there are lots of Yes/No options on my form. So, I dragged a new radio button from the library onto the form, changed the tab order again, but that still can't be accessed via tab key.
The only way to access the radio buttons is to click into them with the mouse.
I have Designer 7.0 - Is this a bug?

Mike,
How does your Hierarchy view look like? Or did you set a custom tabbing order?
I just created a test form by laying out the objects in the exact order I expected to be tabbing into them. I have 2 radiobutton lists and they are separated by other fields.
I then tested tabbing into the group and out of the group and they worked both forward and backward. (Not sure how to include the file here, otherwise I would.)
If you check your Hierarchy view and check that each Radiobutton list follows the object you want to tab into it from, you may find it works better.
Good luck,
Sanna

Problems with Safari, tabs, radio buttons, etc.

My goal is (as you probably guessed) to have a script that unite all open windows/tabs in the frontmost window. I know at least of two theoretical ways to do this, but neither works for reasons I don't understand:
1. GUI scripting. Use Safari's menus to navigate through tabs. For some reason this works somewhat randomly, sometimes getting all tabs and sometimes one tab per window. I can get it working in an awkward way that removes all windows before opening a new one: not exactly what I want to do.
2. I have found this one browsing for solutions on the web, and it uses the System Events app. It seems that Safari tabs are "radio buttons". However, the number of radio buttons returned is always 0. Also, reading the URL with the line
value of text field 1 of group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
does not work (returns NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4).
So, does anyone have any ideas on what goes wrong? (or even better, does anyone have a script that works?)

Thanks Cyclosaurus, this seems to work!
There is still one problem: when getting the URL of a window, if it is empty it will throw an "undefined variable" error. How can I avoid this? (I cannot even check if the url is empty because it is undefined.)
Here is the script I have so far, if anyone is interested:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
try
-- finding the group
set tab_group to 0
repeat with g from 1 to count of groups of window 1
if buttons of group g of window 1 is not {} and title of button 1 of group g of window 1 is not "" then
set tab_group to g
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set URL_list to {}
set N to count of windows
repeat with w from N to 2 by -1 -- going through windows
set T to count of buttons of group tab_group of window w
repeat with b from 1 to count of buttons of group tab_group of window w -- going through tabs
click button b of group tab_group of window w
tell application "Safari" to set this_URL to URL of document w
if URL_list does not contain this_URL then copy this_URL to end of URL_list
end repeat
tell application "Safari" to close window w
end repeat
set C to count of URL_list
repeat with i from 1 to C
my new_tab()
tell application "Safari" to set URL of document 1 to item i of URL_list
end repeat
on error the error_message number the error_number
display dialog the error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end try
end tell
end tell
on new_tab()
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
click menu item "New Tab" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
end new_tab

What causes radio button to have square around it?

Hi there.
CS3.
I use the CSS layout of TwoColFixLtHdr from DW for a site I'm
working on.
What I don't understand, is that this template's CSS causes
the radio
buttons to be in a square, something I don't like and would
like to have it
removed as long as I knew how to. I could not find anything
specific on the
CSS that directly indicated that it is something.
Blank pages have the radio buttons correct.
Regards,
Deon

Hello,
Did you add any styles to any form elements, such as borders
or background
color that could be styling the radio button as well?
Anything applied to another input?
The answer is in the code.
Can you post a link?
Take care,
Tim

Tab order of Radio Buttons?

Although it consistenly goes to the same choice for each group, when I tab through my form, it seems somewhat random which radio button I tab into for each group. Most times it is the left-most or top button (desired) but often it is another choice. I have them in the correct order in the heirarchy. Is there a way to fix this?

Just make sure whatever alignment you have them in (top to bottom or accross) that they are perfectly aligned. Try using the Layout>Align menu command to make sure.

Tab order of radio buttons skipping back

I'm currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (trial for now) to mess around with forms. I am having a problem right now with the tab order. I believe the culprits are a few pairs of radio buttons I have set up sequentially. Each pair is in it's own group with one being "Y" and the other "N". After setting the tab order such that I can easily navigate the form in the specified order, I have found that when I reach the bottom of the first page (the same page in which my radio buttons are found), with the last object that I "tab" through being a text field, I am redirected back up to the radio buttons instead of proceeding to the next tabulated object located on the next page. When I first tab through the radio buttons, the default value I land on is the "Y" value, and when I am unexpectedly redirected there again, the default value I land on is the "N" value of the first radio button. If I tab through everything to the bottom of the page, I am once again redirected back up to the radio buttons. If I mouse click on the next field on page 2 and tab through, everything works fine including being able to move onto page 3 in the expected order. So what gives? Why would I keep getting redirected back up to the radio buttons at the end of tabulating through page 1? I have the radio button groups in the correct tab order, but I'm not sure how to fix this issue with the radio buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried looking online in multiple places for a solution, but haven't quite found one to this or anyone else who might have this same problem. If any further clarification is needed, please let me know. Thanks!

Make sure the thenames for all items including Checkboxes and radio buttons are unique on each page if go to adjust ment for tab order you can drag them to the correct order.
even though you may have placed them at a specific spot if you added then at a later place in the design (say as an after thought, hey I need to add this), their tab order is based on when they are added not the position the actual element is placed.
In other words if the check boxes /radio buttons are the fourth item down position wise in document by they were the twentith item added they will skipped over thad the other 19 in turn will be tabbed to the when 20th tab is hit they will bounce back up to the check boxes/ Radio buttons.
Be sure they are titled button1 button1a, button 2 button 2a and so on or lese the will be marked all at the same time and may bounce back to the first position they were in.

Push Buttons, Radio Buttons, Folder Tabs

Could someone please let me in on the secret to selecting
background colors for push-buttons, radio-buttons and folder
tabs. I've tried the obvious properties with no luck.
I am developing on a Windows NT 4.0 platform using Developer
6.0. I will be releasing my app to the web soon and could
really use some help.
Ideally, I would like to be able to select any color ( i.e. to
match the background color of the canvas ), but so far the only
choices seem to be black, white or a couple of other non-
desirable colors ( bright red, green, yellow, yuck! ). Is a
custom color palette the ticket?
I realize that many button properties are controlled by Windows.
If this is the case, are there any work-arounds? When I
distribute the application, will I be able to offer my customers
the ability to configure Windows to correctly define the button
colors?
I am sure that others have these same questions. I have not
been able to find any answers. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
1. Disabling Push button.
    In PBO loop at sccreen and check the field name is equal to push button name
    set screen-input = 0.
    modify screen.
    endloop.
2.assign a function code to radio button in screen element it will trigger the PAI.
In PAI during loop at table control check the field value is equal to 'X'.then not down the roqw number and in PBO enable the button based on the row number by looping at screen.
3Assign the fcode to push button.Once the user presses the button in PAI check the focde and see for which line it is pressed based on it call the pop up screen using FM or dialog box.

How do I make each Radio button appear in the tab order?

When users tab through the form, the tab only highlights the first radio button of a group before moving to the next field or group of fields.
Example: the user is asked for the following information: LastName, Gender (M/F radio buttons), and BirthDate.
When tabbing through the form, users are taken from from the LastName field to the Male radio button, to the Birthdate Field. Never does the tab allow them to select Female unless they click it with the mouse.
It seems like this should be a simple fix, but I can't find it anywhere!
Thanks for your help.

That's the way they work. Think of a radio button group as a dropdown or list box. When any of these types of fields receives the focus, you can use the arrow keys to move through the options and the tab key moves to the next field.
If you set up the group using check boxes instead, giving each in the group the same name but different export value, they will behave as you want. A group of checkboxes will behave a bit different than a group of radio buttons, but it's close.

Standard Radio Button Tabs missing in Material Master

Dear Experets,
We have Upgraded from 4.5 to Ecc 6.0. We are finding an issue in Material Master.
When we create a material with the required selected Views and maintaing the datas like Basic Data and other Views, we usually have standard Radio button Tab to shift over from one View to another View. I am not able to find those Views either in Creation of Material Master, Or Change or Display ?
Can any one suggest on this? Is there any Patch is missing or any configuration setting has to be carried out ?
Please Suggest your valuable inputs.

WRT54G v 7.0 -- Setting "Keep Alive: Redial Period" not correct (radio button)

Hi,
I own a Linksys-Router WRT54G v7.0 with firmware v7.00.8 build 008, Jul. 9, 2009.
On the web GUI (Setup/Basic Setup) there's a setting "Keep Alive: Redial Period XX Sec.". As I'd like to stay connected with my provider permanently, I've set the radio button to "Keep Alive: Redial Period" and the according text field to "30" seconds. Then, I've clicked "Save Settings" and got a confirmation message that the settings got saved.
Anyway, even after saving the settings the according radio button is still set to "Connect on Demand...". But that is only true for newer browsers, like e.g. IE8, IE7 or Firefox 8. If you use an older browser, like e.g. IE6, then the radio button is correctly set to "Keep Alive: Redial Period" with a value of "30" seconds.
Conclusion: The settings get correctly saved by the router (I can confirm that), but they don't get correctly shown in the web GUI. Looks like a HTML/Javascript bug in the router's admin web GUI. That's really annoying as you never exactly know the effective settings...
Can someone confirm that bug? Is there a newer firmware than version 7.00.8?
Regards,
Patrick

Try to clear the browser's cache as well.

Radio Buttons and Tab Strips

How Do Everyone!
I have 3 tab strips in one selection screen.
Each tab strip has 3 radio buttons on them. How can one
find out out which button is pressed?
e.g. Click on the second tab, the first radio button
     will be highlighted. However, the first radiobutton
     on the first and third tabstrips will also
     be highlighted.
Can the radio buttons be set to null?
Cheers
Andy

Each group of 3 radiobuttons needs to be associated with its own group.
For example.

Doubt on Radio buttons and Tab

Hi all,
I am learning VC and exploring things that can be do'able in Visual Composer.
While designing UI, I found very little elements, that I can put on to the IView layout.
Like, I did not find radio button that i can put in the layout design.
I am just curious that can I design the Iview with radiobutton / Tabstrips.
Please help me in this regard.
Regards,
Manjunatha.T.S

Hi,
Any idea when is the release happening?
COz, I heard that, currently we have Patch1 and Patch2 for Visual composer for VC server and Patch3 is yet to be released.
Please correct me if iam wrong and in case, if Patch3 is already in place, please provide link if any?
And I would like to clarify one more thing, like do we have any "SET FOCUS" facility in VC UI Design.
Basically, I want to trigger an event if the cursor is placed in some input field. I am ready to use EPCM object to perform eventing, but i am not sure, whether we have "set focus".
Regards,
Sushma.

Radio buttons inside Accordion tab?

So I upgraded to 1.6.1 and fixed my IE issues, but it broke
my radio buttons. On my page (
Here) I've
got radio buttons nested inside the accordion tabs. In the previous
version (1.4) everything worked fine, but after the upgrade they
don't stay checked when you click on them. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rory

There is limited documentation on this, but you might want to use the table select phase listener.
You can see this in action in the following sample app: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/divas?entry=table_component_sample_project
You can read a bit about it here:

Selecting Correct Radio Button

I'm testing a web page that has a set of five radio buttons representing a 'multiple choice challenge question' meaning that a user has to click on the correct value in order to continue with their process.
The challenge question asks the user to select the correct answer, and places the correct answer in a random position within the five radio buttons with the other four values being selected randomly also.
What I'm trying to do is to get eTester to find the correct the value (the correct value is known) and select that associated radio button so that the process can continue, but am having trouble doing so.

The following code should help. You may have to play with the events or modify to minimize the number of times this gets fired (it will execute before each event on the page in tester)
Private Sub RSWVBAPage_beforeAction(ByVal actionObj As RswIprogs.IProgAction)
Dim col As Collection
Dim rb As Variant
Dim dbVal As String
' Grab correct value from the databank
RSWApp.GetDataBankValue "myState", dbVal
' Radio button group named "state"
RSWApp.om.FindElements col, "state", "INPUT", "NAME"
' Loop through the radio buttons. Find the one with the value that matches the databank
' and click on that button.
For Each rb In col
   If rb.Value = dbVal Then
     rb.click
   End If
Next
End Sub
