I have a form using radio buttons on the client. It is desired that the user should be able to select one or none of the selections. However if they mistakenly select one i can find no way to unselect it. Is there some action the user can take to unselect a radio button?I can not use check boxes because they are too light when printed and can not find a way to make the X in the box be bold. If anyone has a solution to either of these it would be greatly appreciated.
Subject: How to clear radio button?
I usually design my radio buttons with a default value selected. By design, radio buttons require one and only choice, never nothing. You can either have another button that will clear the user selection for the radio button set or you can use regular buttons that change field values that will be printed clearly (the buttons can be hidden when you print).

On the topic of clearing radio buttons.
I have a form containing 50 or so radio buttons. It is true that radio button is designed to take 1 (and only 1) value. However, I have optional radio buttons. e.g. age group where the user can choose to fill in the field or not.
What I want to do is allow the user to back out of the their choice. e.g. user regrets selecting his/her age group!
I do have a clear form button but the users will have to complete the form again just because they made a “mistake”.

Tou don’t have to complete the whole form again if you have a standard button or hotspot next to each group which clears that group (field, really) with a button such as is suggested in the title.
