Radio button required field class

Rails
1

Hi,

I need to add a required class in gender radio button. How this can be
done.

I am * <%= f.radio_button :gender, 'm', :class => 'RadioInput' %>Male <%= f.radio_button :gender, 'f', :class => 'RadioInput' %>Female

classname = required

If I am adding like this then it display two validation message for each
radio button.

<%= f.radio_button :gender, ‘m’, :class => ‘RadioInput required’ %>Male
<%= f.radio_button :gender, ‘f’, :class => ‘RadioInput required’
%>Female

I need to get a single validation msg if none of the radio button is
selected.

Thanks in advance …

Best Regards,

Gopinath M

Asssuming that the second one is for css purposes (or similar) then it
would be better to move the class out to a surrounding element, the
td, tr or even form for example.

What Colin said - there’s not a single “element” for radio buttons. You
didn’t state which Javascript library you’re using, but presumably it
has a
solution for radio buttons.

Also note that the ability to not have any of them checked is widely
supported among browsers but not in keeping with the standard:
