Using CFIF in CFINPUT radio tag

[lovewebdev]

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.

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.

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.

Use an input tag instead of a cfinput tag.
