Pardon me for resurrecting a dead thread, but can any of the
participants elaborate on the solution to this issue? I'm trying to
accomplish the same goal of eliminating identical repeated error
messages under each radio button in an SQLform using the radio
widget. I still want an error message if the radio group is empty on
submission, just not identical error messages under each radio
element.
I'm using some of the solutions described below and it's not working
so I'm assuming that I'm implementing them wrong. Can anyone explain
exacting how they used this solution?
Thank you in advance for your explanation.
