Hi Everyone, I have a questionnaire within which the questions can have 1 of 4 types of answers. Answers can be either textbox, dropdown list, radio buttons, or checkboxes. The problem lies within the multi-answer types (radio buttons and checkboxes), because I can't associate the question text with them. Furthermore, if I associate their respective answer text, then the singleton answer types (textbox and dropdown list) have no labels. From what I could find with my own research, the only solution to the problem is to use FIELDSET and LEGEND. The problem with this solution is that FIELDSET puts boxes around everything within the FIELDSET, and there is no way to turn off the border. So, for now, what I did was to conditionally associate the question text with the answer - when the answer is either a textbox or dropdown list. In cases where the answer is a set of radio buttons or checkboxes, I associate the answer text with its respective radio button or checkbox. If you can provide me with any other solutions, or input of any kind on this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott
