Summary: missing values/radio buttons

Initial Comment:
Hi.  I am running phpESP 1.3.x and have a
question/comment on how it handles missing values.  I
collect a lot of Likert data using radio buttons and
was wondering why the scales are calibrated starting at
0 in the code?  When I look at the CSV it means that I
have to shift everything, which is not that big a deal.
 The problem is that when a person skips an answer it
looks like it is inserting a 0 in the field to indicate
a missig value.  This leads to obvious problems when it
comes to analysis.

I'm sorry if I missed something obvious in the docs.  I
think that this is a great project and just want to
suggest and edge that could be smoothed.

Cheers,

--chris

Hi.  I'm planning my life for the net couple of months and I
was wondering if this missing value/radio button issue has
been addresses in the upcoming 1.5?  I saw something about
the use of javascript to validate radio buttons, but am not
sure if this really addresses the issue of where the scale
starts and how missing values are recorded.

Thanks much,

--chris
