Freeway Reference: Working with Forms

201

Doing the above, all you are doing is simply changing the name of the label

that is placed to the side of the checkbox. To set up the options for how

the checkbox works you need to select the checkbox itself (so you can see it

selected), then you can choose the options in the Output Settings tab of the

Inspector.

Note that in the screenshot on the right you can see that the handles of the

checkbox displays in red. This is because the Width and Height values of the

checkbox are set to Flexible (which means that you cannot edit the size of the

item). Although it is possible to change the size to Fixed so you can edit the site

of the checkbox we do not recommend doing so as an HTML checkbox is a very

familiar tool on the form and it will look odd to use it at a different size.

Checkbox options

Name: This is the name which identifies each individual checkbox. By default this is set to the same as the current value for Title (which

appears in the Item panel of the Inspector palette, marked here by a checkbox icon), but you can specify your own text if you wish.

This is not displayed on the page but is sent back as part of the response when the form is submitted.

Value: This is the value that is sent to the server if this item is active when the form is sent. It defaults to nothing, and this is usually

suitable since it will send a default value of “ON” back to the server, though you may wish to change it to something like “Yes” if

this makes more sense in the context of the information that is being requested. You don’t need to change this option unless you

want to.

Checked: This determines whether the checkbox is checked or not when the page is first viewed. Checkboxes are unchecked by default

when you create them.

Grouped: Freeway 6 supports grouped checkboxes. Grouped checkboxes are like radio boxes in that they share a common (group)

name. In the case of grouped checkboxes, the name should end in square brackets (name[]) or in square brackets enclosing a

variable (name[i]). In Freeway 6, the export panel for checkboxes contains a Grouped checkbox. If this is turned on, Freeway

changes the Name field to a Group field (in the same way as radio buttons) and ensures that this field contains a correctly formatted

name.

Adding square brackets ([]) to the end of existing checkbox names also turns on the Grouped checkbox, and removing square

brackets turns off the Grouped checkbox. The popup for the Group field of grouped checkboxes contains a set of default group

names (cgroup1[] through cgroup5[]). The combo popup for the Group field of radio buttons similarly contains a set of default

group names (group1 to group5). The default group names are intentionally different for radio buttons and checkboxes.

Required: Checking this option will mean that the form will not send unless at least one checkbox (whether the checkboxes are

individual or in a group) has been checked.

Access key: This is an accessibility aid which is used by typing a specified keyboard combination to bring focus to a field in the form.

For example, if you enter “y” in the Access key field, typing Control-Alt-y (for Mac) or Alt-y (for PC/Linux) will highlight the form

item on the page in a browser and typing will enter characters into the field

Radio Button

Radio buttons are used to allow viewers to choose between a number of mutually exclusive options. Radio

buttons are grouped in clusters. Only one of the buttons in a cluster can be active at a time. When a new one is

clicked, it turns the previously active button off. You can have several clusters of radio buttons on a page, as long

as the buttons in each cluster share a common value for their Name that is different for each cluster.

It is important to note that, like checkboxes, there are two very different ways to place radio button items onto your Freeway page.

If you have nothing selected on the page and then go to Insert>Radio, Freeway will place a standalone radio

button item on the page. This will display as a radio button with the words “Radio button” to the right of it.

To change the word “Radio button” to the text you want to use, you will need to click and drag through the text inside the item and

type the wording you want to use.

If you place the radio button item inside an item as an “inflow” item (such as inside a table cell) when you go to

Insert>Radio (or choose Radio in the HTML tool button and then draw an item inside the item) all you will see is

the radio button itself. You can then enter the text you want to use for the label immediately after the radio button.

Doing the above, all you are doing is simply changing the name of the label that is

placed to the side of the radio button. To set up the options for how the radio button

works you need to select the radio button itself (so you can see it selected), then you

can choose the options in the Output Settings tab of the Inspector.

Note that in the next screenshot you can see that the handles of the radio button

displays in red. This is because the Width and Height values of the radio button are

set to Flexible (which means that you cannot edit the size of the item). Although it

is possible to change the size to Fixed so you can edit the site of the checkbox we do

not recommend doing so as an HTML radio button is a very familiar tool on the form

and it will look odd to use it at a different size.
