asked on Multiple Radio Button values
Experts,
I have 6 radio button options or choices for the user with some other options (text box, dropdown etc) in my CF page and user can check or choose more than one radio button option. So, I would like to get the radio button option value as comma delimited list in my action file, (like 1,2 OR 1,2,5,3 or 1,2,3,4,5,6 or may be just 1). How can I achive this? Please help me out.
<input type="radio" name="opt1" size="30" value="1" onDblClick="uncheckOpenRad
<input type="radio" name="opt2" size="30" value="2" onDblClick="uncheckAssignR
<input type="radio" name="opt3" size="30" value="3" onDblClick="uncheckDecline
<input type="radio" name="opt4" size="30" value="4" onDblClick="uncheckPrdRadi
<input type="radio" name="opt5" size="30" value="5" onDblClick="uncheckModeled
<input type="radio" name="opt6" size="30" value="6" onDblClick="uncheckQuoteRa
Thanks in advance

I agree with you Agx, but the users wanted radio buttons since they have check boxes for a different option in the page.
That is the reason I have onDblClick="uncheckOpenRad
Appreciate if you can tell me how can I get these values in a comma separated values.
Thanks for your suggestion

that's kind of funny... it's like insisting that your mechanic put gasoline in with your windshield washer solution.
There are some things that users should not have a say over.
You could also try these alternatives.
Perhaps style your checkboxes so they look different...

Or you can use an image instead of a checkbox, the image could look like a radio button or an empty/full glass or a horse with/without a rider :) .... but behind it is a checkbox...

Lol, we could have an entire thread about crazy user requests... I remember a client demanding never to have to save their web application. "I don't want to ever click a "Save" button, I want things to be saved for me automatically..." This was before ajax come into the main stream...

Are you kidding? We could have an entire site devoted to "creative" user requests ;)
I don't want to ever click a "Save" button
Haha. Oh man ... I'm having crazy client flashbacks ... ;)

almost all of my work is done for internal projects so the only crazy requests are the ones i give myself. Planning meetings are a bit like the part in LOTR where Smeagol & Gollum are arguing with each other. :)
gd's styling idea is what I'd go with to give a different visual look without resorting to the silliness of the JS i provided ;)

Then I'm not sure why you're using radio buttons. radio buttons are designed to allow only one option to be checked. It probably works for you because you're using different "names" ie opt1, opt2, ... but that's confusing. It's not how radio buttons are designed to work.
I'd use checkboxes instead. Just give them all the same name. Then whatever values are checked will be passed as a csv list
<input type="checkbox" name="opt" ... >Option 1
<input type="checkbox" name="opt" ... >Option 2
<input type="checkbox" name="opt" ... >Option 4
....
