Need some help with RADIO buttons forms

Dec 19th, 2007

So am using Perl to dynamically generate a form with radio buttons. And no, this is not a Perl question. Essentially the form allows the user to specificy which links to use for Line 1, 2, 3, etc. And this can be a long form. The problem I have is that in placing the links in the VALUE field, each link shows up on each radio button. Makes it very ugly.

Is there a way to label each radio button with just text, but have it's value be the link? I tried the code below, and am still searching. But when you're new to a certain language, even Googling doesn't just give up answers.

Thanks

Well a label tag works in this way

<label for="test">Test:</label>
<input type="radio" name="test" />
<label for="test">Test:</label>
<input type="radio" name="test" />

You place your label's target outside of the label tags

It seems to be because the VALUE is a full reference that this is happening.

So am guessing I need to consolidate all my links into a master array and make the value of each radio the element number of that array.

Ugh
