That's not what he's trying to do.  Grab some coffee #;-D

If I understand correctly, he wants a grid of radio buttons.  Each
color can be ranked 1 through 10.

So, 
In the range of radio buttons for Blue, you can pick 1-10.
In the range of radio buttons for Red, you can pick 1-10.
In the range of radio buttons for Black, you can pick 1-10.
Etc.

He wants something that prevents someone from selecting, say, 2 for Red
if they have already selected 2 for Blue.

It would be easy to validate this after submission and return to the
page if the user screwed up, but for on-the-fly idiot-proofing he's
gonna need JavaScript.

Ozz.
