   Add an option button

   1. Click in the form where you want to place the option button.

      If you are inserting a form field but have not already created a form, Microsoft FrontPage automatically creates a form area and inserts the field inside that form area. The form area appears as a dashed line when you are editing the page.

   2. On the Insert menu, point to Form, and then click Option Button.
   3. Type the label for the option button directly on the form, next to the option button.
      • You can specify whether site visitors select the option by clicking the button or its label.

        How?

        1. Select the text and the option button.
        2. On the Insert menu, point to Form, and then click Label.

   Set the properties of an option button

   1. Double-click the option button.
   2. In the Group name box, type a name to identify the group to which this option button belongs.

      For your form to work correctly, you need to use a unique name for this form field.

   3. In the Value box, type the value to associate with this field.

      If this option button is selected, this value is returned with the form results, and is displayed on the default confirmation page.

   4. Beside Initial state, click Selected if you want the option button to be selected by default when a site visitor first opens the form.
   5. Click the Style button to access other options for formatting your form using cascading style sheets as an inline style.
