Hi there
I'm absolutely new at this so forgive me if none of it makes any sense!
I'm trying to write a page which lets you apply for tickets. I've
written it in PHP and used simple variable names for all the input
fields. Upon clicking submit, I want the form to be checked for
incorrect formats and blank fields.
I've managed to write the checking program in such a way that clicking
submit launches an 'error' page which displays at the top of the page
which field is wrong, and then redisplays the form. (The form redisplay
is done using a function which uses the variables I used in the HTML
form page). My problem is this: when the 'error' page comes up all of
the text boxes will quite happily redisplay the data that was put into
them, but I have a couple of drop-down boxes and radio buttons which
lose their value. Is there a way I can make these boxes and buttons
retain their value?
short answer: yes.
longer answer:
either generate some javascript to set the correct option or
when/if you use php to 'build' the selectboxes add the string
' selected="selected"' to the HTML of the option that should be
selected, for checkboxes you would add the string ' checked="checked"' to
the relevant radiobuttons (or checkboxes).
Thanks
