Description

This is not a huge problem but is something that could be improved. On the create or edit banner page (tiki-edit_banner.php), there's a form with the four types of banner content — Use HTML, Use Image, Use Image from URL, and Use Text. These are radio button labels, and each also has an input or selector where the data is input or selected.

If the user activates the radio button and inputs or selects in the form for that button (in the same row on a large screen), then the banner displays as it should. But it's possible to click the radio button for one content type but input or select content for another type. In this case the form is submitted without an error but the banner won't display correctly.

I know we might think "who would do that?" but the form should probably prevent this user error, if possible, like not allowing form submission unless there's a match between the content-type radio button and data being specified for that content type.
