Hi,

I'm trying to do the following:

a form with a selection of 5 shapes, each has a radio button or check box by
the side, now the user can only select 2 of the 5 shapes, they then press
submit and they go to a new page and they are told what the shapes mean....

then only thing I can find thats close is:
http://www.wrc-uk.com/cgi-bin/support/index.cgi?view=2

If anyone knows of a script/site that would help me I would be eternally
grateful and then sum!

Thanks

Dave

You can't use radio buttons for multiple selections on the same tag name.
It -must- be checkboxes if you want to do this. Well, you could also use
SELECT MULTIPLE.

I'm sure any number of us could help you. What's the rate for the job?
You've already just gotten a freebie. The rest is a for-fee service.
