Hi folks

 

I am having a problem validation a form.  Users will be given 5 questions on
the screen at a time, with 4 radio buttons for each question (A, B, C, D)
for a multiple choice style exam.  I am dynamically naming the radio buttons
so they correspond to the question ID.   The code to output the radio
buttons is as follows:

 

<cfinput type="radio" name="#session.exam[i][1]#" value="A" required="yes"
message="Please make sure you select an answer for every
question!"><strong>A</strong><br>

<cfinput type="radio" name="#session.exam[i][1]#" value="B" required="yes"
message="Please make sure you select an answer for every
question!"><strong>B</strong><br>

<cfinput type="radio" name="#session.exam[i][1]#" value="C" required="yes"
message="Please make sure you select an answer for every
question!"><strong>C</strong><br>

<cfinput type="radio" name="#session.exam[i][1]#" value="D" required="yes"
message="Please make sure you select an answer for every
question!"><strong>D</strong><br>

 

The #session.exam[i][1]# is an array that stores various information about
the exam. In this case, session.exam[i][1] is the question ID.  However, the
"required=yes" tag does not work when I dynamically name the radio buttons.
If I give them a static name, it seems to work fine.  Am I missing something
here?  Is there another way (javascript) that I can make sure each group of
radio buttons have a selection?

 

By the way, I am using ColdFusion MX 7.

 

Thanks in advance.  

Steve
