Answers input type for better UX

[bpires]

Hey Izzy, you may want to include an "empty" initial value to the dropdown list, so the user doesn't submit the first answer by mistake.

But a better approach, in my view, is to use "radio buttons" and leave them all unchecked by default. This way not only the user can see all the possible answers in a glimpse but also no answer is already checked. You can go as simple as plain HTML radio and customize them later to resemble buttons.

I guess this set would feel more familiar and it's an established UX design for quiz questions.

Also, popular Q&A TV game shows use it 😄 especially when they expect the user to guess between the answers.

PS: You may want to include a prompt when no answer is checked.
