How to name RadioButtons for processing

[mr_putersmitParticipant]

In standard html, you would identify your inputs using name=””. In jqwidgets, how is that same effect achieved for processing by php. In a div for example you cannot use the name attribute as it is restricted to form elements. The reason I ask, is that jquery validator relies on the ‘name’ attribute for validation and does not recognize id’s. Is there a way round this.

Sorry if it is such a nOOb question, but I need to be sure.

Thanks

Hello mr_putersmit,

You can set the name attribute of div elements and that is how you can achieve your goal. Please check out the PHP demo Login Form to see how to submit information from a jqxCheckBox (also a div).

Hi Dimitar
Coming back to naming, this is what the w3.org validator returns:

Line 6, Column 41: Attribute name not allowed on element div at this point.
       <div name="mydiv" class="myclass"></div>

Also, if I include a name in my div, jquery.validator dosen’t recognise it. Does this mean that I have to use jqwidgets validator or is there a workaround. Thanks

Hi mr_putersmit,

As evidenced by the demo, there are no issues when a div’s name is set. You can also use jqxValidator to validate radio buttons.
