radio buttons and form submissions

[Phred]

i'm in dire striaghts...<br>
i'm trying to design a survey that will automatically send results to a predetermined email address (mine).<br>
the questions i have are:<br>
(1)how can i assign a value to radio buttons which can be totalled upon submission? (like, making a row of buttons, of which you may choose only 1, and that determines the point value for that row?)<br>
(2)how can i send this totalled point value to a specific email address, while at the same time, creating a popup window displaying the point total?<br>
sorry if this isn't descriptive enough, but i'm really desparate. any questions, please email me! <br>
thanks!!!<br>

(1) This is an HTML problem (I'd RTFM you but I'm not that mean). You would need to create the radio button with &lt;input type=&quot;radio&quot; value=&quot;x&quot;&gt; where x would be the value for that button in that form (you would need to create different forms for different rows of buttons). So if you wanted a row of four buttons of which you wanted only one selected and each having its own value, it would have its own form. To create four columns of such buttons, then you would need to create a seperate forms to do this. You may see that this is a fairly inefficient way of doing things. Some have utilized JavaScript to create checkboxes that act in a similar manner, but they don't require their own form for each instance. I don't know how to do this off hand since I've yet to have need of such a tool.<br>
(2)If you want it so that different values to send to your e-mail with different subject headers, then use an array. I don't have a whole lot of time on my hands so I will give you the code for something similar that I did (it was for random links).<br>

This does NOT, however, give you the right to PLAGIARIZE MY CONTENT AND IDEAS! (Sorry if it seems like I'm really paranoid, I'm not, really...and don't even think of trying to find me...)<br>
