TEST POLL: Vote and test "Fill out Poll" to see if you can edit or remove your vote(s)

Every person may only vote ones. What happens if we voted prematurely and wish to remove a vote completely or to move it to a different answer?
You may change your vote clicking on Poll#XXX and then on Fill out Poll. Not all votes can be unselected, though!
 

1)  Radio-buttons will not let you remove your vote, only to move one selection around. Anyone posting a radio-button based poll should add a "Null Vote" option to their polls, so people who voted in your poll by mistake would be able to move their selection to "Null", at least.

2)  Scale will not let you unselect because it's much like radio-buttons. Better vote carefully on this one because no Null Vote is possible

3) Check boxes allow for multiple answers to the same question. They also allow removing all selections. I like Check boxes :)

4) Drop-down box can be edited to "empty" or a selection can be changed.

5) Text entry can be edited to "empty" or text can be rewritten.

The poll below is so people could test what they can do to edit poll entries. Go ahead and vote and then try to:
1)  Remove your selections as if you didn't vote at all using Fill out Poll.
2)  Change your selections to a different answer(s) using Fill out Poll.

Scale looks pretty interesting. It shows some stats like Mean, Median and Std. Dev Can't remove my vote, though :)

I asked around about radio buttons and not being able to unselect them. According to [info]snakeling: "You can remove radio-button votes with third party software, like the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox" and "it's not an InsaneJournal problem, it's a HTML specs problem" which is a very good piece of information :)
