More Radio Buttons Driving Form Behavior

May 8, 2007 | By Heidi Adkisson

This example, from Virb, is via Signal vs. Noise. It is a similar idea to what’s shown in this previous post, where radio buttons at the top of the page (with strong visual emphasis) drive the form behavior.

Virb_signup

In this case, each option has an associated "details" button, which displays help content below:

Virb_details

It’s a small detail, but I wanted to see the triangle on the far right move to the "point down" position when the help content is open. This would help indicate that this works as a toggle (clicking again closes the help content) and is a common visual cue found not only on the Web but also in Mac OS X.
