Ok, so maybe this is where I was confused. if ever I want a set of radio buttons, I should use the form->input? Is this true for all form widgets (check box, text box, etc.)
Then what is $form->radio ($fieldName, $options=array(), $attributes=array()). I'm fine with using the input. I'm just confused then what the form->radio is used for. (end user override?) http://book.cakephp.org/view/727/radio And looking at the example below you specify a Model.field. If I'm not using a model, can I use just a different string? I'm getting the impression yes, but don't want to go down the wrong path. Thank you for your help. -TM On Nov 12, 7:30 pm, thatsgreat2345 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Something like this? > Model.field = name > legend removes the default legend > Type = radio > options sets value 1 -> displaytext > default sets default select to the second one > e($form->input('Model.field',array > ('legend'=>false,'type'=>'radio','options'=>array > ('value1'=>'display1','value2'=>'display2'),'default'=>'value2'))); > > On Nov 12, 2:56 pm, Todd M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hey, > > > I can't seem to find in the cake docs and api what the $option array > > is for the radio form helper.
