I looked in the Dojo API docs for RadioButton. It inherits from CheckBox, which inherits from ToggleButton, which inherits from Button. None of these dijit types has validators. As such, when the form validates, nothing is performed on the RadioButton. If you want some sort of validation, you'll need to extend the dijit and add an isValid() method that defines the validation action to perform; then use your new widget with the form. > On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 14:40, Matthew Weier O'Phinney <[email protected]> > wrote: > > -- Martin Carpentier <[email protected]> wrote > (on Monday, 16 November 2009, 12:14 PM +0100): > > I'm bumping this topic as I haven't found a solution yet and have a hard > time > > believing I'm the only one having to use required radio buttons in a > form. > > Do you have an onSubmit event that's performing form validation?
