dynamic radio buttons

Question

Hope someone can help with this - I have a mySQL table
whereby clients can check 8 categories of job they're interested
in, amongst the rest of their details.

I have the different categories set as Bool type in mySQL,
and want to display the details on a web page - with a radio button
indicating which of the categories they're interested in. I had
thought it would be a case of selcting the radio button, and
clicking on 'live data' in the properties and selecting the field
from the recordset you want to tie it to, eg :

<?php $row_Recordset1['Category1'] ?>

The idea being that if the category was selected, or equal to
1, the button would be checked, and if not selected, or equal to 0,
then the button would be unchecked

But doesn't seem to be working - but presumably it's
possible?

Cheers,
Iain

Scratch that - it's checkboxes I needed to use, not radiobuttons.Iain

To allow multiple choices, you need to use checkboxes instead. > I had thought it would be a case of selcting> the radio button, and clicking on 'live data' in theproperties and selecting > the field from the recordset you want to tie it to, eg :> > <?php $row_Recordset1['Category1'] ?>That's exactly what you do, except it's not called 'livedata'. Higlight the check box in Design view, and then select the Dynamicbutton in the Property inspector. In the dialog box that opens, click thelightning bolt to the right of the "Check if" field, and select therecordset value. Then enter the value you want in the "Equal to" field.-- David PowersAuthor, "Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8" (friends of ED)Author, "Foundation PHP 5 for Flash" (friends of ED)http://foundationphp.com/
