Radio buttons always checked

[3allawy]

Hi,

The problem I am facing is that when you select one of my two radio buttons and submitt the form, that button stays checked, even if you select the other button. I have removed the checked attribute but still the same..Any Ideas


<form id="quicksearch" name="quicksearch" action="scripts/search.cfm" method="post">

<label for="quicksearchBox">Search:</label> <input class="styledinput" tabindex="1" accesskey="S" type="text" name="Search" id="quicksearchBox" size="9" /><input class="styledinput" tabindex="2" type="submit" value="Go" id="quicksearchButton" /><br /><br />

<p><input type="radio" accesskey="J" name="Jmsb" value="J"/> JMSB </p>

<p><input type="radio" accesskey="C" name="Conc" value="C" /> DIS </p>

</form>

you need to give both radio buttons the same name if you want them to interact with one-another.

Hi,

Is there anyother way because I think they should have different names to be able to deal with them in action script

get a better knowledge of action script. radio buttons were designed to interact in this manner.

or use one checkbox.

If you want them to work as a group of radio buttons, they have to have the same name. How else can the browser know which buttons should send which value?

I don't know about ActionScript (why would a Flash applet want to interact with your search box?), can you access via the ID instead?

<p><input type="radio" accesskey="J" name="type" id="Jmsb" value="J"/> JMSB </p>

<p><input type="radio" accesskey="C" name="type" id="Conc" value="C" /> DIS </p>

after submitting the form, does the server side script generate the page?

scripts/search.cfm

could be that the script is retaining the "checked" status of the radio button and putting that back into the form if it's dynamically generated. There is no reason a radio button would remain checked if the page were purely static html, so look into the script you are using and see if the "problem" resides there.

Got it..............using <cfparam name="form.JC" type="string" default="" />

----------------------------form.cfm---------------------

<form id="quicksearch" name="quicksearch" action="respnoseradio.cfm" method="post">

<label for="quicksearchBox">Search:</label> <input class="styledinput" tabindex="1" accesskey="S" type="text" name="Q" id="quicksearchBox" size="9" /><input class="styledinput" tabindex="2" type="submit" value="Go" id="quicksearchButton" /><br /><br />

p><input type="radio" accesskey="J" name="JC" value="J"/> John Molson School of Business</p>

<p><input type="radio" accesskey="C" name="JC" value="C" /> Concordia University</p> </form>
