Huh? Maybe I'm just not awake this morning and not understanding what you're trying to explain, but if you're using *radio* buttons, only *one* of the same name can be checked at any give time. ie: <input type="radio" name="color" value="1" /> Blue <input type="radio" name="color" value="2" /> Red <input type="radio" name="color" value="3" /> Black <input type="radio" name="color" value="4" /> Green <input type="radio" name="color" value="5" /> Mauve If you click "Red" and "Blue" is already selected, "Blue" will automatically be unselected. 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.

Ahhhh, now that makes more sense. (shut-up Jay) -- John C. Nichel IV Programmer/System Admin (ÜberGeek) Dot Com Holdings of Buffalo 716.856.9675 jnichel@dotcomholdingsofbuffalo.com
