It's basic HTML. That's not what he's trying to do. Grab some coffee #;-D If I understand correctly, he wants a grid of radio buttons. Each color can be ranked 1 through 10. So, In the range of radio buttons for Blue, you can pick 1-10. In the range of radio buttons for Red, you can pick 1-10. In the range of radio buttons for Black, you can pick 1-10. Etc. He wants something that prevents someone from selecting, say, 2 for Red if they have already selected 2 for Blue. It would be easy to validate this after submission and return to the page if the user screwed up, but for on-the-fly idiot-proofing he's gonna need JavaScript. Regards, Ozz.
