How do I make it so that when you click on the question or text next to a radio button, it doesnt change the value of the button?

Question

You can see the form I am asking about located at http://mwforms.miworksmo.org/dvop-app.

I would like users to be able to highlight text, or click near text with the mouse without the answer changing in the radio box. (request came from beta testers)

Hi Moorear,

I'd never noticed that behaviour before - apparently it's there to enable mobile use and is a default for most browsers.

I Googled around and was able to block it with this JavaScript:

jQuery(document).ready(function(jQ) {
  // block the click
  jQ('.gcore-label-checkbox').click(function () {
    window.returnValue = false;
    return window.returnValue;
  });
  // block the 'pointer' cursor
  jQ('.gcore-label-checkbox').css('cursor', 'default');
});
