Quiz creator also get this message after clicking Submit on Step 2, if any entries are empty:
You haven't selected one or more radio boxes, meaning you still need to select a multiple choice and/or true/false answer, or you have not yet filled in the quiz name and category.
So as well as radio boxes checking, it also ensures that a Category has been selected and a Quiz name entered.

Jan - Welcome to CMX! I'll let battye answer your unicode question.
Here's the chat between battye and I today:
[10:14] <battye> Hi
[10:15] <Quahappy> Hey up!
[10:15] <Quahappy> Get my PM?
[10:15] <battye> no
[10:15] <battye> i will look now
[10:15] <Quahappy> okies
[10:16] <battye> okay I see, not a problem
[10:16] <Quahappy> I will leave this window though so I can catch up and do what I can. Keen to get it all done.
[10:16] <battye> I will be busy for the next 5 minutes or so
[10:17] <Quahappy> What time is it there?
[10:17] <battye> quarter past 7, night
[10:17] <battye> I will be around for the rest of the night, what time is it for you?
[10:17] <Quahappy> 10.15 am
[10:18] <battye> over the next 5 hrs or so, when is the best time for you to talk?
[10:18] <battye> I understand from the PM you will not have a lot of time today
[10:18] <Quahappy> I know - frustrating. Life gets in the way sometimes lol
[10:18] <battye> but you will be around for a few minutes here and there
[10:19] <Quahappy> Yes. Will try my hardest
[10:19] <Quahappy> Where are you up to at the moment? Want me to do a tester?
[10:20] <battye> okay, I'm free now.
[10:20] <battye> I worked on it for another hour after you left last night
[10:20] <battye> And I think I got it to a good stage
[10:20] <battye> I hope
[10:20] <battye> But in the forum you said you had a problem
[10:20] <Quahappy> Yrd - read your post. Determination battye.
[10:21] <Quahappy> * Yes
[10:21] <battye> Brq
[10:21] <battye>
[10:21] <Quahappy> heh heh
[10:22] <Quahappy> Basically radio boxes were not showing.
[10:22] <battye> What did you do in order to get the radio boxes not to show?
[10:22] <Quahappy> This:
[10:23] <Quahappy> In step 2 - choose two true / false and one multiple choice..
[10:23] <battye> quiz title and category fields selected?
[10:23] <battye> or unselected?
[10:23] <Quahappy> then without ticking the boxes (for any radio boxes) clicked on Submit
[10:24] <Quahappy> I still didn't tick radio boxes and clicked on submit again
[10:24] <battye> I see
[10:24] <Quahappy> then this time radio boxes didn't show
[10:24] <battye> So it works the first time
[10:24] <battye> but not the second
[10:24] <Quahappy> Correct
[10:25] <Quahappy> Just tried it now - same result
[10:25] <battye> hmm
[10:25] <battye> okay, I will let you get to your other work for a while then. I'll try and fix this problem and I'll let you know when I've reuploaded the files
[10:26] <battye> I might need to reboot the computer though, are you able to save the chat so far?
[10:26] <Quahappy> OK, no problem
[10:26] <Quahappy> and yes to saving chat
[10:26] <battye> Copy and pasting these chats are strange, you have to start at the top and drag the mouse down
[10:26] <battye> I might need to reboot the computer though, are you able to save the chat so far?
[10:26] <Quahappy> OK, no problem
[10:26] <Quahappy> and yes to saving chat
[10:26] <battye> Copy and pasting these chats are strange, you have to start at the top and drag the mouse down
[10:26] <battye> then a new window appears that you can copy fron
[10:26] <battye> from
[10:26] <battye> does that make sense?
[10:27] <Quahappy> that what i did and it went pear-shaped. So will be extra careful lol
[10:27] <Quahappy> dont go just yet - going to copy now...
[10:27] <battye> ok
[10:29] <Quahappy> done - had to do it in three parts. it wouldn't scroll down lol
[10:30] <battye> yeah, weird quirk in the program I suppose
[10:30] <battye> I will reboot now, I will be back in a couple of minutes
[10:30] *** battye has quit ("Java user signed off")
[10:36] *** battye has joined #uqmtempchat
[10:37] <Quahappy> wb - i didn't answer your question above ^^^. Mo - I didn't select Category but did enter a Quiz title
[10:37] <battye> ok
[10:37] <battye> im sure it wouldn't have made a difference
[10:37] <Quahappy> Remind me to chuck this keyboard out of the window will you?
[10:37] <battye> its strange, but they are related
[10:38] <battye> do you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch?
[10:38] <battye> it is strange getting used to the keyboards on them, because they are on small touch screens
[10:38] <Quahappy> Nope
[10:39] <battye> even now after 6 months or so of using an iPhone, I can't type as quickly as I can on a regular keyboard
[10:39] <Quahappy> Wait 'till Windows 7 lol
[10:39] <Quahappy> be forever cleaning the monitor
[10:39] <Quahappy> lol
[10:39] <battye> oh yeah I heard about that
[10:39] <battye> I saw a demo on a video site
[10:39] <battye> bbc video or something
[10:39] <battye> and the guy was trying to demo it
[10:40] <battye> about 3 attempts before it actually worked
[10:40] <Quahappy> not like touch screen technology is new - been around for years
[10:40] <battye> not mainstream until Apple did it though
[10:40] <Quahappy> 3 attempts? That's not good
[10:40] <Quahappy> think I'll do it the old way - use end of a pen
[10:41] <Quahappy> Or the kids DS stylus
[10:41] <battye> you are using XP right now?
[10:41] <battye> or vista?
[10:41] <Quahappy> Done a retest - this time selecting a Category - still same result: Click submit twice and the true / false radio boxes not there
[10:41] <Quahappy> Vista
[10:42] <Quahappy> Vista downstairs PC and XP on one upstairs (which I don't use very often)
[10:42] <battye> So the question here is what is the difference between the first attempt and the second attempt
[10:42] <battye> why is the t/f not appearing the second time
[10:42] <battye> M/C is appearing alright both times yes?
[10:43] <Quahappy> M/C still boxes still showing each time yes
[10:43] <Quahappy> All focused on T/F
[10:43] <battye> ok I think I have found the problem
[10:43] <battye> try this for me, go back to the first attempt
[10:43] <battye> and click the page source
[10:43] <Quahappy> okies
[10:43] <Quahappy> Now?
[10:44] <battye> Search for <input type="hidden" name="true_false_questions"
[10:44] <battye> should be one match
[10:44] <battye> what does it say to the right of it? it should say value="... but what appears in the value attribute?
[10:45] <Quahappy> So step 2 - enter fields then click on submit then view source yes?
[10:45] <battye> yes
[10:46] <battye> so leave the fields blank (dont tick the boxes), click submit
[10:46] <battye> and then once the page has loaded view the source
[10:47] <Quahappy> <input type="hidden" name="true_false_questions" value="1,2," />
[10:47] <battye> that's good, now click submit again
[10:47] <battye> and look at the page source
[10:47] <battye> and search for the same thing
[10:48] <battye> I get value="" (ie. blank), so if you do as well then I think that is the problem
[10:49] <Quahappy> <input type="hidden" name="true_false_questions" value="" />
[10:49] <Quahappy> yep - got the same after clicking on submit again
[10:49] <Quahappy> so the value is going walkies
[10:50] <battye> ok, so if I can fix that hopefully it will work
[10:50] <Quahappy> I'm sure it will
[10:50] <battye> I will post back here when I reupload the file
[10:51] <Quahappy> Okies
[10:53] <battye> Okay, give it a crack now
[10:53] <battye> Let me know if it works for you
[11:00] <Quahappy> trying now...

[11:05] <battye> lol
[11:05] <Quahappy> Well, I've been trying all sorts to see if anything else crops up while creating a Quiz and pleased to say...
[11:05] <Quahappy> ... no problems
[11:06] <battye> fantastic
[11:06] <battye> BUT
[11:06] <battye> I need to check the database
[11:06] <Quahappy> uh oh - don't like buts lol
[11:06] <battye> to make sure it is submitting properly
[11:06] <Quahappy> right
[11:06] <battye> so if you submit a quiz, I will go into the database and tell you what you submitted
[11:06] <Quahappy> Going to do that right now....
[11:06] <battye> if it is all correct, then I can finally move on to something else
[11:07] <battye> I will probably do the 'playing' mode next
[11:09] <Quahappy> Database entry check, 3 questions 1: T/F - answer True, 2: T/R - answer False, 3: M/C - Answer 1st
[11:09] <Quahappy> Database entry check is the name of the Quiz
[11:09] <battye> okay, I will post what is in the database
[11:09] <battye> when it finishes loading

[11:12] <battye> ewr
[11:12] <Quahappy> That's all correct
[11:12] <battye> It is missing a multiple choice though, shouldn't there be 4?
[11:12] <battye> or did you only put 3
[11:13] <Quahappy> I only put three
[11:13] <battye> okay that's fine
[11:13] <battye> perfect
[11:13] <Quahappy> Got a question for you though
[11:13] <battye> yep
[11:13] <Quahappy> Spot on battye - knew we'd get there!
[11:13] <battye> !
[11:13] <Quahappy> On step 2 when you click Submit
[11:14] <battye> yes
[11:14] <Quahappy> Is there anyway of showing radio boxes that are ALREADY ticked so save having to restock them?
[11:14] <Quahappy> *boxes
[11:14] <battye> In v2.2 maybe
[11:15] <battye> I think for all intents and purposes, it is okay as it is at the moment
[11:15] <Quahappy> It is - I agree 100%
[11:15] <battye> Could you try one other thing?
[11:15] <Quahappy> No probs
[11:15] <Quahappy> Fire away
[11:15] <battye> 4 question quiz, 2 t/f, 1 m/c and 1 input answer?
[11:15] <battye> but the t/f at #1 and question #4
[11:15] <Quahappy> ok - 2 mins
[11:15] <battye> m/c at #2 and input answer at #3?
[11:15] <battye> thanks
[11:16] <battye> and use 4 m/c for the m/c
[11:16] <battye> Just want to make sure that each quiz type is working because we didn't test input answer yet
[11:19] <Quahappy> We've got a problem
[11:19] <battye> damn
[11:20] <Quahappy> set up exactly as you said
[11:20] <Quahappy> clicked on submit without ticking radio boxes
[11:20] <Quahappy> question 4 - not showing true / false radio boces
[11:20] <battye> can you click back one page
[11:21] <battye> and check the page source?
[11:21] <Quahappy> can you give me 5 mins?
[11:21] <battye> for that true false value
[11:21] <battye> sure
[11:23] <battye> I do think I know where the problem lies actually, so while you are out for a few min I will try and write a fix
[11:36] <battye> right, I think I've got it. When you get back, double check also. but it is working for me now
[11:39] <Quahappy> Testing now...
