[phpesp-general] Radio Boxes and Groups

[Jim B. <jp...@si...>]

Hi all,

Has anyone hacked around with radio boxes and groups?

I'm trying to create a survey question that has three groups
of responses, something like the following:

Q: Please check your favorite item in each category:

  [ ] Red Roses
  [ ] Blue Violets
  [ ] White Carnations

  [ ] Red Strawberries
  [ ] Blue Berries
  [ ] White Grapes

  [ ] Red Sandals
  [ ] Blue Slippers
  [ ] White Flipflops



The ideal way to do this is setting the name attribute for each group:

  
<input type="radio" name="Q1_A" value="RedRoses"> Red Roses<br>
 <input type="radio" name="Q1_A" value="BlueViolets"> Blue Violets<br>
 <input type="radio" name="Q1_A" value="WhiteCarnations"> White Carnations
 <hr>
 <input type="radio" name="Q1_B" value="RedStrawberries"> Red Strawberries<br>
 <input type="radio" name="Q1_B" value="BlueBerries"> Blue Berries<br>
 <input type="radio" name="Q1_B" value="whiteGrapes"> White Grapes
 <hr>
 <input type="radio" name="Q1_C" value="RedSandals"> Red Sandals<br>
 <input type="radio" name="Q1_C" value="BlueSlippers"> Blue Slippers<br>
 <input type="radio" name="Q1_C" value="WhiteFlipflops"> White Flipflops


Has anyone hacked phpESP to do this sort of thing?


Best Regards,
Jim B.

PS- Yes, I know I can use checkboxes...

If I'm not mistaken, radio buttons in html are not meant to be used
like this ...
But anyway, to try it out: add 2 <br> add the end of every "seperation"
line (yes, I mean to add the html code to the description field in
phpESP.

That only separates the groups for display.

What I had in mind was creating a new question type  like 'radiogroup'.
phpESP would have to:

  1. Manage the creation of separate groups with "name=group1" attributes
    This would be in the Survey Design management interface screen.


  2. Receive and process the groups as 'response_multiples' instead of
     response_single.

Not sure of all the underlying code and I'm short on time right now,
but I might give it a try later.

ok, I understand better what you want now, but it is not possible (for
now) using phpESP ...
What you can do is use a seperation text for a question, and then ask
for each subpart a question, using html indention:

Q: Please check your favorite item in each category:

  q: which flowers:
  [ ] Red Roses
  [ ] Blue Violets
  [ ] White Carnations

  q: which fruit:
  [ ] Red Strawberries
  [ ] Blue Berries
  [ ] White Grapes

  q: which footware:
  [ ] Red Sandals
  [ ] Blue Slippers
  [ ] White Flipflops

I must say that you try to ask one question for several categories, and
phpESP just isn't designed for that ...
