Radio buttons and submitting

[Radon3k]

Is there a way to limit someone to checking only one radio button? I think this may actually be JavaScript but I'm not totally sure. Thanks. 🙂

give all the radio buttons the same name - when they check one, then check another, it will uncheck the first.

no js needed - straight HTML

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks! 🙂 I mixed up the name and value attributes.

I decided not to start another thread for this, but I do have another question. How do you populate a drop down list from a database?

Example:

The database has red, blue, and green.

You want your drop down list to display all three of those. But if the database changes and adds orange to the list, then the drop down list will automatically add orange to it. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks. 🙂

<?
$get_data = "select id, title from table order by title";
$do_get_data = mysql_query($get_data);

echo "<select name='list'>\n";

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($do_get_data))
    {
    echo "  <option value='$row[id]'>$row[title]</option>\n";
    }

echo "</select>\n";
?>
