edit a form - retrieve values from db and set checkboxes to reflect va

[leeolive]

Hi

I have a feedback form which user completes and data is submitted to db. I then want to allow user to edit this form so I retrieve values from db and populate the textboxes. This is working fine. My question is how do I set checkboxes and radio buttons to reflect these values?

It must be something like 'if value is ?? then check the box', but what is the correct syntax and is this code placed within the actual radio box/checkbox?

ie. Radio: <input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;Gender&quot; <%if strGender = &quot;1&quot; then value=&quot;Check Checkbox&quot; %> />Male

Checkbox Mail <input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;ReceiveInfoByMail&quot; value=&quot;<%=strReceiveInfoByMail%>&quot; />

Thanks!
Lee

<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;Gender&quot; value=&quot;Male&quot; <%if strGender = &quot;1&quot; then %> checked <%end if%>>Male

I believe that is the right syntax.

While the above would work in most browsers today it is not valid XHTML therefore may not run in future browsers. The bellow syntax is valid XHTML i think.

<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;Gender&quot; value=&quot;Male&quot; <%if strGender = &quot;1&quot; then %> checked=&quot;checked&quot; <%end if%> />

kind regards

Was not aware of that, Gus121. Thanks for the heads up, I can see that I'm going to be doing some research when/if I get some spare time...
