First of all, I am a high school student who is working on an ITGS project. I am supposed to make a web page (using Microsoft Frontpage) including SAT preparation. I have two distinct problems.

I have managed to include radio boxes for the students to check their answers. What I can manage to do is to copy paste the radio boxes from other sites, but I don’t know how to make the boxes “de-click” when another is clicked so that only one valid “click” will remain, because I need only one answer to remain clicked, even if the user has clicked on several radio boxes before the final choice.

The second problem is how can I hyperlink different pages into the main one (home page), or into secondary pages?

Please be understanding and help me with basic information because I am an absolute beginner and I really need your aid.  
I’ll be looking forward to reading your replies since the deadline is approaching tragically.

Best regards,  
Augi

Make sure each radio button has the same “name” attribute. The tag looks like:

\<input type=“radio” name=“somename” value=“a”\>  
\<input type=“radio” name=“somename” value=“b”\>  
etc.

Every radio button named “somename” should work as a group, and selecting one of the group should toggle the other one off.

Unsure what you mean by “hyperlink different pages into the main one”. 😕

Why are you using Frontpage? At least what’s the instructor’s reasoning regarding using Frontpage in lieu of something like Notepad?
