checkbox in fields show the word yes
Hi all, with this example I get a checkbox that does not work; in my real world document it works, I can't say why. But this minimal example shows the problem I have in my real document. \usemodule[fields] \setupinteraction [state=start] \setupfield[cbox][width=1em,height=1em,option=printable,frame=on,offset=0.5mm,frameoffset=1mm,type=radio,color=black] \definefield[test][check][cbox][yes][no] \starttext \field[test] \space Do you see the word »yes«? \stoptext Unfortunately in Firefox and some other PDF Viewer there is the word "yes" written in the checkbox. This makes the form useless as people think the given option is set to yes by default. Can I avoid this somehow? TIA juh
Dear all, as nobody answered I would like too repeat my question. If you open the MWE in Firefox, you see the word "yes" written in the checkbox. Is there a way to avoid this? Thanks a lot for your help. juh Am 17.11.20 um 13:50 schrieb Jan U. Hasecke:

This is what I see
On a Mac running BigSur... 1) using the TeXShop built-in PDF viewer I see the word "yes" inside the box 2) in the 'Preview' app I see "yes" in the box 3) using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC I get: a) Initially a blank / grey box b) Hovering the mouse over the grey bit displays "yes" and the cursor changes from I-beam to hand c) Single clicking displays the word "yes" d) Move focus to another app and the word "yes" is replaced with a tick mark in the box e) Move focus back to Acrobat, hover over the box and the tick mark changes to "yes" f) Click the tick and the box changes to "yes" g) Move focus to another app and the box changes to blank i.e. unticked I've no idea whatsoever what to do about it or suggest which is why I didn't reply before. -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
