"Did the student demonstrate creative problem solving?"     [ ] Not at

all [ ] A little bit [ ] Kind of [ ] Most of the time [ ] Always. Each [ ] is a radio button with the only difference between the 5 being the value ( values are integers 1-5 ). So far I've tried adding the attributes array like this

       $scaled_items[] = & $form->createElement('radio',

'item_'.$r['item_id']. '[response_no]', NULL, NULL, $r_i['response_no'], array('checked'=>'checked')); I've also tried using $form->setDefaults($my_defaults); and changing the $appendName parameter to true. Hi, I'd do it like that: $labels = array('Not at all',

                'A little bit',
                'Kind of',
                'Most of the time',
                'Always');

$questions = array('Did you feed the cat ?',

                   'Did you vote for W. Bush ?');

foreach ($questions as $index => $question) {

    $radio = array();
    foreach ($labels as $value => $label) {
        $radio[] =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement('radio', null, null,
                    $label, $value);
    }
    $form->addGroup($radio, 'question_'.$index, $question, '<br />');
    $defaults['question_'.$index] = 0;

} $form->setDefaults($defaults); Bertrand Mansion Mamasam -- PEAR General Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
