resetting radio button state

chintupintu03

Hello all,

I have small query. Within my form, I have following code, for each question.

XXXXXX
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="text">
<input type="radio" name="ans1" value="Yes"> Yes
<input type="radio" name="ans1" value="No"> No </td>

</tr>
XXXXXXX

With the above part, when the form get loaded, no value is selected. Any one option (yes / no) will get selected, when the user clicks one of them.

Now, my problem is : if the person wants to skip the particular selection ( that means the radio button should be brought back to original state of "no button selected" ) then how it is to be done with reference to above code. Is it possible to do this requirement.

Looking for help / feedback.

Typically radio buttons are set with a default value:
<input type="radio" name="ans1" value="Yes" checked> Yes
<input type="radio" name="ans1" value="No"> No

Hello nemonoman,

I know about setting the default value. Thanx for that. The requirement I mentioned is for the case that,

There is questionnaire with set of questions. If the person goes on clicking the answers for those questoins. In a case, the person does not want to reply to some of the questions ( with radio button type answers like Yes/no) that means, he has to skip the question, then he should have option of "not picking" any answers availble for that question.

Is this possible by giving separate "button" to click and reset the radio options to "undefined" state?

That is my query / requirement. Depending upon the number of questions "answered" and "skipped", the score is to be calculated accordingly.

Looking for help.

More reliable would be to include one more radio button for the group labelled "No answer" or something similar. Make that one the default.

You could use a button to reset the values, but that would require Javascript, which may or may not be running on the user's client.
