Ah! Never mind -- I just found the target() function.

Thanks -- and to Alex, too -- I hadn't thought of grouping the check-boxes. I'm first going to try a simpler & more permissive approach and see how the user-experience feels, but if that's not satisfactory I'll do the second group.

But either way, there's something I still don't quite understand about the messaging.

I know how to find out which of a group of radio buttons has been pressed -- but I'm not quite clear how to know when one (any) has been pressed, that is, when to check the result. Do I just use a mouseUp handler attached to the group (of radio buttons)? That looks promising and I'll try it. However:

If the check-boxes are also in a group, presumably I should manage them from a script attached to their group, too. In a mouseUp handler? But their "radioBehavior" will be false (more than one can be hilited, no auto-de-hiliting), so hilitedButton won't work. How do I tell, in that mouseUp handler, which one was pressed?

Is there a tutorial on this stuff? I haven't seen one but I may be looking in the wrong place. I know it's pretty basic, but I'm confused. Thanks again for the patience & advice.

When you say "wait", what do you really mean? Do you mean you want to force the user to click on a radio button before doing anything else? Or do you literally mean you want to force a delay of some sort?

Assuming the former, one easy way to do this would be to put the checkboxes in a group and the radio buttons in a group and then when the user checks a checkbox, disable the checkbox group until he clicks a radio button. Then in the radio button group, re- enable the checkbox group.

Close?

So I want is that when the user clicks a check-box, I wait until the user picks one of the radio buttons
