public class HorizontalRadioHeaders
extends QuestionWithChoices

A header over a horizontal RadioButtonQuestion . This labels the columns and lets you label a row of radio buttons if you want it.

If you use it like this:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/SurveyTags.tld" prefix="survey" %>
     <survey:survey databaseName="<%=databaseName%>" table="tbladmin" >
     <%
     String[] list = new String[]{"1", "2", "3", "4", "5"};
     %>
     <survey:horizontalRadioHeaders question="" choices="<%=list%>"/>
         <survey:radioButtons dbField="Perform" 
                question="How well did the crew as a whole perform in this event?"
                choices="<%=list%>" horizontal="true" showTitles="false"/>
         <survey:radioButtons dbField="CrewComm" 
                question="How well did the crew as a whole communicate with one another?"
                choices="<%=list%>" horizontal="true" showTitles="false"/>
     </survey:survey>

It will show up in the page looking like this:

	1	2	3	4	5
How well did the crew as a whole perform in this event?
How well did the crew as a whole communicate with one another?

To show how many items go into the list and what the choices are, you need to create an array and pass it into the choices parameter.  You can pass the same thing into the RadioButtonQuestion's list of choices.

hasVariable

public boolean hasVariable()

Description copied from class: QuestionWithVariable

Whether this has a standard "answer" variable, i.e. whether the Question needs to call "getAnswer()" to load and save the answer. For example, headers do not have variables, short answers do. More complicated, AbstractQuestions should return false, despite having some variables -- they don't have any standard variables.
