[thelist] [ASP.NET] CHECKED attribute of radio button--problemsetting it within asp repeater

[Jonathan R. Karlen]

Oh.  I didn't read this carefully enough.  I had assumed you were using
ASP.NET checkboxes or radio buttons.  This first begs the question - why
not?

Jason,

You need to evaluate your value before you even write out checked= .  I
don't know ASP.net, but in ASP I would do something like ..

<input type="radio" name="WantSex" id="WantSex" value="1" <%If MyField then
response.write " checked=""checked"""%> />

or

<input type="radio" name="SexWith" id="SexWith" value="jason" <%If MyField =
"jason" then response.write " checked=""checked"""%> />

HTH,
Michele
