I am having trouble with having a radio button stay in the same position when the form Iam using submits to itself. When it submits the radio buttons go back to their default positions. I also have a radio button that enables a drop down menu, but again when the form submits to itself the drop down is disabled. Here is the code. I am sure it is easy but it is frustrating me. Thanks for the help.

<form name=form1 method=post action=test.asp>
<head>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function disabling(){
if (document.form1.radShop[0].checked=true){
document.form1.cboSecondary.disabled= true;
}
return;
}
function enabling(){
if (document.form1.radShop[1].checked=true){
document.form1.cboSecondary.disabled= false;
}
return;
}
</script>
</head>
<p><font size=5><em><b>Aging Work Order Form</b></em></font>

I see that it's submitting to an asp page, and that's a good thing. :)

just check the values as they come in and check or uncheck them based on those values like:

<%
if request.form(&quot;radio1&quot;) = checkedValue then
response.write(&quot;<input type=radio name=radio1 value=checkedValue checked>&quot;)
else
response.write(&quot;<input type=radio name=radio1 value=checkedValue>&quot;)
end if
%>

or something to that effect, where they keep their state.

I understand waht you were getting at, but I get an error on the response.write(radio) it has a problem with the value attribute of radio and says missing ')', but when I take that out the value it at least prints a radio button, but has no associated value. Any ideas? Thanks for the help too.

I'm having a hard time getting a mental picture of the line of code where you're trying to write the radio button, and why it would be throwing an error. Post it (just the excerpt) and let's take a peek.

It boggles me not just because I am new to this, but it doesn't make sense that when I take out the value it works. Tahnks again for your help. The error again is expected ')' on the first response.write

<%if Request(&quot;sort&quot;) = &quot;&quot; then
Response.Write(&quot;<input type=radio name=sort value=&quot;wo_request_date&quot; checked>Date&quot;)
Response.Write(&quot;<input type=radio name=sort value=&quot;wo_number&quot; >Work Order #<br>&quot;)
else
Response.Write(&quot;<input type=radio name=sort value=&quot;wo_request_date&quot;>Date&quot;)
Response.Write(&quot;<input type=radio name=sort value=&quot;wo_number&quot; checked>Work Order #<br>&quot;)
%>

Yes, notice where you have put in extra double quotes... it's getting confused right there and expecting the end of the statement...

Response.Write(&quot;<input type=radio name=sort value=&quot;wo_request_date&quot; checked>Date&quot;)

should be:

Response.Write(&quot;<input type=radio name=sort value=&quot;&quot;wo_request_date&quot;&quot; checked>Date&quot;)

But just as a note, you don't even need the quotes at all, really... it would work just fine without them.

And don't forget to fix them in the other spots, too.

good luck! :)
