Question

Using CFIF in CFINPUT radio tag

I'm a little new to using cfinput. I always use HTML input.

I have radio buttons for gender. When the form is submitted, the value is entered into a db column 1 or 2:
<cfinput name="g" id="g" type="radio" value="1" required="yes" />  F<cfinput name="g" id="g" type="radio" value="2" />

I want to check one by default depending on the value stored in the db column when the form loads.

I'm able to use a CFIF statement to check one by default in the HTML radio like:
<cfif rs.g eq 1>checked="true"</cfif>

but you're not allowed to have cfif in a single cfinput tag.

How do I do it.

    Use an input tag instead of a cfinput tag.

    Hi lovewebdev,

    If I understand correctly what it is your trying to accomplish, try something like this.

    <cfif rs.g eq 1>

    <cfinput type="radio" checked="yes">F <cfinput type="radio" checked="no">M

    <cfelseif rs.g eq 2>

    <cfinput type="radio" checked="no">F <cfinput type="radio" checked="yes">M

    </cfif>

    So based on the value of the db column, the correct form elements will display

    and the right one should be checked.

    Hi lovewebdev,

    You can just put the condition directly in the checked attribute of your form field, like so:

    <cfinput name="g" id="g" type="radio" value="1" required="yes" checked="#rs.g eq 1#" />

    The checked attribute accepts True or False, so you can put any condition you'd like in there.
