 * I don’t understand the questions: is the radio button/other form field not working?
   It does not save the value typed in to the “other” field?

 * Sorry,
    i was thinking that perhaps other: could hold preset value like something
   i could select. For example, you could have 2 radio buttons to select country
   and “other” to select city, like a dropdown kind of select. Thanks in advance

 * Hmm, that would be very unusual, usually the “other” value would be for the same
   field because it is saved instead of the selected value.
 * Normally, you’d have a separate field for the city. Maybe you are looking for
   a dropdown that would only show cities from the selected country? You’ll need
   to use a custom setup for that, I have an article that discusses a simple way
   to do that…it does require you know some php and javasctipt.

 * Thank you Sir,
    your fix works perfectly on default WP theme but it fails on 
   Jnews theme for some reason. No errors but it just not working. Also I installed
   Participants Template addon for this but no luck. I will try to resolve this 
   somehow. Thank you very much.

 * If it’s not working, I suggest you take a look at the Browser Developer Tools
   console to see if there is a javascript error.
 * It is most likely a conflict with javascript that the theme has on that page.

 * You can email it to me, I don’t recommend you post it here, people will try to
   use it and it may not work for them.
 * If I understand the problem, I can perhaps alter the script so that it will work
   more reliably with all themes.
