Can't get data from radios/chbx, text is ok - seiceach - Oct 27th, 2010
Heya-
this is my first form ever so I'm sorry for the question...
Everything seems to work fine, I'm able to collect data from "inputs type=text" but nothing is comming from radios and checkboxes (like it was not filled). Select-Option is working as well.
Any suggestions?
Code:
<fieldset>
<input type="radio" name="test" value="first"/> first
<input type="radio" name="test" value="second"/> second
</fieldset>
= NO RESULT - I need to know if fist or second was selected.
<fieldset>
<input name="test2" type="text"/></p>
</fieldset>
= CORRECT RESULT - I can se the input.Update: I can see the results when I click EDIT under submisions but when I click Display in HTML/Download in CSV/XLM... only text boxes are shown, not checkboxex a radios. Strange (to me).

Hi Seiceach,
It sounds like your Field Option Group for the radio fields doesn't have a display value.
Try this:
1. Go to your Edit Form -> Fields tab.
2. Find the "test" field and click the Options link.
3. On that page, there should be a value in the Field Option Group setting. Click EDIT.
4. That'll take you to the Field Options Group page which shows you all the values and display values in the group.
Make sure that the two values "first" and "second" have appropriate display values (and not just blank).
Hope this helps!
- Ben

Thank you so much Ben! You saved me :-)
- Display values were blank.
Great, great tools!
