Adding Advanced Design Features Part III
Unlike checkboxes and text fields, each radio button in the set does not have a unique name??”instead,
each group of radio buttons has a name. If you give the entire set of radio buttons the same name, browsers
can assign one value to the radio button set. That value is determined by the contents of the Checked Value
text box in the Property inspector. Figure 14-5 shows two different sets of radio buttons. The figure shows
the Property inspector for one of the radio buttons in the osRadio group, on the right. In this example, each
button in the group is assigned the name osRadio.
FIGURE 14-5
Radio buttons enable a user to make just one selection from a group of options.
To designate the default selection for each radio button group, you select the particular radio button and
make the Initial State option Checked instead of Unchecked. In the form shown in Figure 14-5, the default
selection for the osRadio group is Macintosh.
Because you must give all radio buttons in the same set the same name, you can speed up your
work a bit by creating one button, copying it, and then pasting the others.
