Thank you

You can probably put some JavaScript in the OnClick method to manipulate the
window.location but I would think it would be a confusing change to the normal
behaviour of a radio button. When I click a radio button I expect it to be
selected and any other radios in the group to be un-selected... I would feel
like you'd tricked me into going somewhere I wasn't ready to go yet!

Radio buttons don't link to anything. What are you trying to achieve?

| Hi, I have a client who wants a radio button to act as a hyper link so this
link stays in the same format as his form above. I am just trying out
dreamweaver and didn't know or couldn't find anything in dreamweaver to do this.
thank you

| Hi thank you for the reply. My client has a form on the very bottom of this
form he had two text links. He now wants these two text links to look like the
rest of the form, When someone chooses the radio button it will automatically
llink to another page. There is a short explanation so the end user knows why
he is clicking on the radio button.

You know that this will break every user interface guideline and
usability standard? Radio buttons and checkboxes are _passive_ elements,
they are not supposed to trigger an action. That's what buttons are for.

If it's a link then you should use a link, that's the preferred and most
usable way.
