As I understand it, this is something specifically related to edit boxes and text areas. "But how can I do if I use radio ou check button ? (for instance for the gender choice, between, "man and woman") I should do a choice by default, for instance "man" but it won't ensure relevance of the data gathered (Indeed, I'm sure that a lot of women won't change this, even if they will respond to my form)." One solution would be to include a third option: Male/Female/Unconfirmed, with the third option selected as default. This would keep your information accurate.
