Disclaimers

for

Folks:

How do you handle situations where there is a multi-line disclaimer on a web page that is relative to two radio buttons e.g. Yes I Agree and No I don't Agree.

The disclaimer I'm dealing with is rather lengthy about 10 lines of verbiage that almost constitutes a legal disclaimer. In other words the message really can't be shortened.

Obviously if the message was indeed shorter the legend of a fieldset would suffice.

Any thoughts?

Jim

"On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
Charles Babbage, mathematician and computer scientist (1791-1871)
