why not indeed but they do exist in beloved microsoft. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sailesh Panchang" <sailesh.panchang@deque.com> To: "'Aaron M Leventhal'" <aleventh@us.ibm.com>; <wai-xtech@w3.org> Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 10:24 AM Subject: RE: Style guide: tristatecheckbox I question the concept of a partially checked checkbox. Checkbox and radio buttons are meant to hold just the 2 boolean values: yes or no. If one can have a 3 state checkbox (to correspond to Yes, No, Not sure), then why not a 5 state checkbox (that corresponds with something like Strongly agree, Agree, Not decided, Disagree, Strongly disagree)?

If the item is partially checked, space rotates through checked, unchecked and then partially checked again. However, the first bullet says if it's not checked that space checks it! Is the implementation supposed to have 2 different code paths for unchecked checkboxes depending on whether it was originally partially checked? - Aaron * Three State Check Box * If not checked, space checks the check box * If checked, space unchecks the check box * If partially checked, space will rotate through checked, unchecked, and partially checked states.
