    Hello All...A newbie here! I have to say I love amemeber so far. I'm trying to add new fields...figured out the easy ones. But I want to add two new fields

    Field 1
    Select your industry. I'd like to add three radio buttons (I guess I should use radio buttons) that they can click one or all and a fourth that has a space for "other" input text.


    Field 2
    How did you hear about us? Several selections where only one button can be selected, plus the last button for "other" with text input.

    I've been trying to figure out "pipe seperated" and can't. Your help is greatly appreciated!:D

    Pipe seperated examples for radio buttons (default is 1)
    Farming|Farming|1
    IT|IT|0
    RE|Real Estate|0

    It would look like this in the signup form
    <label><input type="radio" name="industry" value="Farming" checked="checked" />Farming</label><br />
    <label><input type="radio" name="industry" value="IT" />IT</label><br />
    <label><input type="radio" name="industry" value="RE" />Real Estate</label><br />

    I think you would need a seperate text field for this.

    Thank you very much davidm1. Very easy! Just needed the way. I added a serpate text box for "other" response. This is my first post and it's comforting to know there's help. Thanks again. :D

    Oops...got another question about setting up fields. I have a check box that user has to click to acknoledge they read something. I've tried just about all combinations. If you set it to required value, it passes it on whether or not you check the box. How can this be done?
