Hi,

You have to prepopulate the field value before to display the selectRadio using a setter.
Here is an example http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/12109/default-value-radio-button.

Thank you for the reply. In the example you have provided, is this using a picklist field or is it just values they have created inside the controller?

Ideally I would like the radio buttons to work off the picklist (safarefile) I have created. Thanks

As you can see, values are provided by the controller (hard coded).
I'm not sure to understand exactly what you'd like to do.
To retrieve picklist values have a look here http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/4992/how-to-get-a-picklist-all-values-in-apex-controller

Thanks for this.

I am basically trying to change the view of a picklist to radio buttons. This has been achieved, however when the page first loads I wish not required to be selected. I have done this in a controller similar to the first example however that was not related to a picklist and its values. I am unsure how to relate the piklist and its values in a controller/

Im sorry if I am not making sense.

Thanks
