Depends on which GUI Toolkit you're using. I see that you are a .NETer; new to python?

That would be "Tkinter" in python.
To group radio buttons in Tkinter you must associate something I like to call a Tk PyVar. This variable (common to all buttons in a group) is automaticly updated when the buttons are push and setting it programmaticall y sets the buttons. It can be an integer or a string.

I'm curious; are you just checking python out; trying to find something easier than .NET; have you heard of MS's IronPython (sort of a marriage between python and .NET, from what I understand)?

I have the radio buttons working my problem is that I need one of them preselected when the program loads....and the .select() isn't working - onRadio = Radiobutton(onOff, text = "On", value = 0, variable = v)
-
onRadio.pack(side = BOTTOM, anchor = S)
-
onRadio.select()
This should select the onRadio but it doesnt.

select() may work on buttons with no variable associated with them, I don't remember. Once you have the variable, use it to control the group. It makes sense since the other buttons need to be informed of the change and act accordingly (and this is ALL that they have in common).
I should point out that Tk is only very basic and useful for cross-platform development (to a point) because it "comes with" most python installations. There are other cross platform Gui ToolKits which do deliver a native look on Windows and *nix and Mac and have much more intuitive contructors and vast library of widgets. The first think most people notice when developing with Tkinter is that there is no ComboBox widget. Some tree widget support and D&D support has be kluged onto it, but if you look at the source code for IDLE, you'll find that the Text widget in Tk never did work very well. It is a good place for beginners to start, but anyone familiar with an overloaded environment like .NET will find it lacking in a hurry.

Hi, I recently read this article on About.com on how to create
required fields for a form:
http://javascript.about.com/library/scripts/blformvalidate.htm
Everything works great except that there are no instructions on how to
make checkboxes and radio buttons required. I've tried adding these to
my form, but I'm having no luck. Anyone know how to add radio buttons
and checkboxes using the existing code mentioned on the url?
Thank you!

I'm trying to create a dynamic form that can have multiple groups of
radio buttons (each group has two buttons) with the same name.
Essentially, the form allows a user to enter as many names as they
want. If they need to add more, they click an "add name" button and
the javascript inserts another row of input boxes. Each row should
have two radio buttons to indicate sex (M F).

Hi, can anyone help here?
I have the following code generated from a database, I want to have javascript calculate the
costs of the selected items using radio buttons, subtotal the costs and grandtotal the costs
ready for the selected items to be inserted back to the database. I did something like this
before with Checkboxes, but Radio button have to be named the same to maintain their
groupings.
