Re: Radio Buttons Random Order

[villas]

I wonder whether you could do something like this:

input random
answers = range(1,5)
random.shuffle(answers)
inputlist = CAT()
for a in answers:
    inputlist.append(TR(x['answer{0}'.format(a)],INPUT(_type="radio", _name="operation", _value='answer{0}'.format(a))))
form = FORM(TABLE(inputlist))

Hmm unfortunately that didn't work, I appreciate the help though!

How about something like:

import random
rows = random.shuffle([TR(x.answer1,INPUT(_type="radio", _name="operation", _value="answer1")),
                       TR(x.answer2,INPUT(_type="radio", _name="operation", _value="answer2")),
                       TR(x.answer3,INPUT(_type="radio", _name="operation", _value="answer3")),
                       TR(x.answer4,INPUT(_type="radio", _name="operation", _value="answer4"))])
rows.append(TR("",INPUT(_type="submit", _name="submit", _value="Submit")))
form = FORM(TABLE(rows))

Using Web2py, in the default controller, how can I randomize the order that the radio buttons appear on the screen? Ex: I don't want answer1 to appear before all of the other radio buttons all of the time.
