Insert a group of radio buttons
1 Place the insertion point inside the form outline.
2 Select Insert > Form > Radio Group.
3 Complete the dialog box and click OK.
a.In the Name box, enter a name for the radio button group.
If you set the radio buttons to pass parameters back to the server, the parameters are associated with the name. For
example, if you name the group myGroup and set the form method to GET (that is, you want the form to pass URL
parameters instead of form parameters when the user clicks the submit button), the expression
myGroup="CheckedValue" is passed in the URL to the server.
b.Click the Plus (+) button to add a radio button to the group. Enter a label and checked value for the new button.
c.Click the up or down arrows to reorder the buttons.
d.To set a particular radio button to be selected when the page opens in a browser, enter a value equal to the radio
button’s value in the Select Value Equal To box.
Enter a static value or specify a dynamic one by clicking the lightning bolt icon beside the box and selecting a
recordset that contains possible checked values. In either case, the value you specify should match the checked value
of one of the radio buttons in the group. To view the checked values of the radio buttons, select each radio button
and open its Property inspector (Window > Properties).
e. Select the format in which you want Dreamweaver to lay out the buttons. Lay out the buttons using line breaks or
a table. If you select the table option, Dreamweaver creates a single-column table, and places the radio buttons on
the left and the labels on the right.
You can also set the properties in the Property inspector or directly in Code view.
