I’m sure this is a simple problem but so far the solution has excaped me. I have two pairs of buttons and want each pair to act independently of the other. I started with having all four as radio buttons, but then the selection was just one of the four. So I made the bottom pair checkboxes, but that was no improvement. A user could still only select one of the four. Can somebody tell me how I can insulate one pair from the other so a user can select either “hot” or “cold” in one group and then make a selection in the other that doesn’t wipe out the hot/cold selection? Thanks for the help.
