If a Radio Button is not checked, no information is sent when the form is submitted. Fortunately,
there is a workaround to submit the status of the unchecked radio button, see "Using Form
Elements" on page367.
The submit name of a Radio Button indicates to which Radio Button Group the Radio Button
belongs.
Select
A Select element is a drop-down list with multiple entries from which the user can select only
one option. When adding a Select to a Form you can type the options to be given in the drop-
down list and the values related to them. Only the value of the selected option will be sent to the
server on submitting the form.
To learn how to dynamically add options to a Select element, see this how-to: to Dynamically
add options to a dropdown.
Button
The Button element is an element that can be clicked. When adding a Button to a Form you can
set the button's type:
l
A submit button will validate the form data and if validation is successful, send the data to
the provided URL (by the Action specified for the Form; see "Changing a Form's
properties" on page468).
l
A reset button will reset the form to its original configuration, erasing any information
entered and options provided. Note: This cannot be undone!
The button's type can also be changed on the Attributes pane.
There may be multiple submit buttons on a Form. If this is the case, specify a different name
and/or value for each of the buttons.
Note: When adding a Button to a Form, you can specify a value, but no name. The Button's ID
will be copied to the element's name attribute. However, after inserting the Button you can
change its name on the Attributes pane.
