Hi,

One question: How do you set with ad_form a checked radio?

If I use the "html" tag with "checked" as follow:

{RB:text(radio) {label "L"} {options {{"Y" 1} {"N" 2}}} {value {"N" 2}} {html {checked checked}}}

The last option (in the example "N") is checked. Is there a way to set a checked option independent from its position in the "options" list?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,

Jorge.

Hi,

You should not set the value in the element delcaration.

You should set the value in the

-on_request or -new_request or -edit_request code blocks.

To do that you should set the variable named for the form element to the correct value.

In your case something like this:

-on_request {
set RB "2"
}

This will check whatever option has the value of "2".
