Hi Gautier, you have two things going on here. On the one hand, the checkpoint is only for text inputs - it doesn't apply to radio buttons etc. On the other hand, valid HTML requires that there is always one radio button selected i a group of radio buttons (not check boxes). So if you have a choice you think people won't change, why not add a default option as "neither", "won't tell", or something? cheers Chaals On Tue, 12 Jul 2005 13:24:48 +0200, Gautier Barrere <barrere@gmail.com> wrote: > I have one question concerning the checkpoint 10.4 : > If you use forms : "Until user agents handle empty controls correctly, > include default, place-holding characters in edit boxes and text > areas." > > It's quite easy to respect this checkpoint is I use drop down menu... > > But how can I do if I use radio ou check button ?
