Displaying selectoptions one below other

Hi all,

 

I have two custom objects questions and answers. Answers object has a lookup to questions object.

I am displaying a question name and the answers related to that question as radio buttons  in a row of a datatable.

 

I am using the following code for that

<apex:dataTable value="{!surveyListPage}" var="surveyqns" cellpadding="10">
              
              <apex:column rendered="{!ISNULL(surveyqns.question.Question_Name__c)}">
                   <apex:outputText value="{!surveyqns.question.Question_Number__c}"/>
                   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
                  <apex:outputText value="{!surveyqns.question.Name}"/>
              </apex:column>
              <apex:column rendered="{!NOT(ISNULL(surveyqns.question.Question_Name__c))}">
                  <apex:outputText value="{!surveyqns.question.Question_Number__c}"/>
                   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
                  <apex:outputText value="{!surveyqns.question.Question_Name__c}"/>
              </apex:column>    
              <apex:column breakBefore="true" rendered="{!surveyqns.question.Type__c == 'Radio'}">
                  <apex:selectRadio value="{!surveyqns.response.Response_Text__c}"
                  rendered="{!surveyqns.question.Type__c == 'Radio'}">
                            <apex:selectOptions value="{!surveyqns.ansop}"/>
                        </apex:selectRadio>
              </apex:column>
              <apex:column >
                  <apex:inputField value="{!surveyqns.response.Response_Number__c}" rendered="{!surveyqns.question.Type__c == 'Number'}"/>
              </apex:column>
          </apex:dataTable>

 

 

Here all the answer options are coming as radiobuttons in a single line. How do I display the answer options one below the other?

 

Any suggestion will be helpful

 

Thanks

Arvind

Use the layout attribute of the selectRadio control. Setting layout="pageDirection" will lay the options out vertically instead of the default.

 

 

<apex:selectRadio value="{!surveyqns.response.Response_Text__c}" rendered="{!surveyqns.question.Type__c == 'Radio'}" layout="pageDirection">
    <apex:selectOptions value="{!surveyqns.ansop}"/>
</apex:selectRadio>

 

See the VisualForce documentation for all of the available attributes on selectRadio.
