How can I remove ""None of the above"" from radio button options without making the field required?

I don't believe that it is possible. A better choice may be to un-check the radio button option and leave it as text - multiple choice with only those two choices.

If you make your field required, the None of The Above will go away.

Yes, I asked how to avoid making it a required field.

make the field as required * when you don't need none of the above option (in radio buttons)

>I don't believe that it is possible.

Everything is possible. You can hide the radio button and the surrounding "None of the above" <label> with this script:

$("label.NoneOfTheAbove").hide();

Let me re-phrase that.... I don't believe that it is possible for us mortals in native quickbase. :)

What multiverse are you living in where you can't get QuickBase to do your bidding? Just create a text formula field with some HTML allowed using the following formula and you will remove the NoneOfTheAbove monkey business:

I never understood this "Native QuickBase" meme. What is it about my method that is unnative QuickBase? Seriously cast out your demons that are holding you back from solving every QuickBase problem.

There are no "demons" Dan. I am one of those people who started the quickbase experience with zero background in any web language. Quickbase brags about being for the "non-technical" people and I am one of those. I am trying to learn and have picked up a few things here and there and been tickled pink every time I do. Sorry if my learning curve is not a steep as yours. There's really no need to be condescending...I'm doing the best I can. I did learn one more thing from you. I need to stop trying to help anyone here on this forum.

I was just being humorous. QuickBase is very good for creating rapid database applications but when you want to do more advanced things you will have to use various workarounds and scripts. If you cross that bridge when it arrives you can greatly extend what can be accomplished. Eventually I hope QuickBase would support more API to customize the product but until then you have to use workarounds.

Quite frankly, most of the well posed questions on this forum have simple answers.

FYI, I just came across this need and tried Dan's method and it worked great.  You basically just have to create a text-formula field, call it whatever you want, and put the below as the formula (make sure you check the Allow HTML box).

"<img src=\"/i/clear2x2.gif\" " &
"onload=\"javascript:if(typeof QBU=='undefined'){QBU={};$('label.NoneOfTheAbove').hide();}\">"

Then, just put that field somewhere on the form that has the radio buttons on it, and it will hide the "None of the Above" label.  Slick!

"<img src=\"/i/clear2x2.gif\" " &
"onload=\"javascript:if(typeof QBU=='undefined'){QBU={};$('label.NoneOfTheAbove').hide();}\">"

The onload approach works great so long as you don't need to remove the tag.  However, it doesn't just remove the label, but also the radio button itself so that it appears that there is no way to remove the tag if it was applied in error.  Is there any solution for that or to change the label to something other than "None of the Above".  It is the language for most of us that is the problem, as most users mistake it as an acceptable value to be chosen and not a way to remove the tag and return the field back to no value.  Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.  My javascript knowledge is still pretty basic.
