Re: Spacing out the radio button in CGI.pm

Sometimes the simple way is the best. (Actually, usually the simple way is the best!)

Try something like this:

    -values => [ ' Light ', ' Medium ', ' Full ' ],
[download]

and play around with the spacing until it looks just right!

If you need to create multiple spaces, you may of course have to use the "non-breaking space" directive " " ...

    -values => [ 'Light&nbsp;&nbsp;', 'Medium&nbsp;&nbsp;', 'Full&nbsp
+;&nbsp;' ],
[download]

s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/

But adding space to the value changes the value. I'd use CGI's support for CSS to insert some padding to those elements.	[reply]

Then let's do this instead. `radio_group(-name => "analysis", -multiple => 1, -values => [ "Light", + "Medium", "Full" ], -labels => {"Light", " Light ", "Medium", " Medi +um ", "Full", " Full "})` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

That's a perfectly good solution as well! It's just that it's more complicated (ie. takes more work, takes more code, etc.), so it's not quite as quick a fix. But if keeping the value unchanged is important, then by all means go with CSS. s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/	[reply]
