More than one instance of the Addendum

Re: More than one instance of the Addendum

I know this is an old thread, but I am revisiting this question. When "hardcoding" the Addendum questions onto a page, I am trying to "save and retrieve Addendum responses when a screen is refreshed due to missing data". For Text fields, changing %question1% value="&mvte:global:question1;" works just fine, but how do I get checkboxes, dropdowns, and radio buttons to remember their selection upon page refresh?

Thanks,

Re: More than one instance of the Addendum

Check boxes are easy:

If your check box looks like this:
<input type="text" name="checkFoo" value="1" /> Check Box

Write it as:
<mvt:if expr="g.checkFoo">
<input type="text" name="checkFoo" value="1" CHECKED/> Check Box
<mvt:else>
<input type="text" name="checkFoo" value="1" /> Check Box
</mvt:if>

Radio buttons

<input type="radio" name="radioFoo" value="yes" /> Yes
<input type="radio" name="radioFoo" value="non" /> No
<input type="radio" name="radioFoo" value="maybe" /> Maybe

<mvt:if expr="g.radioFoo EQ 'yes'">
<mvt:assign name="g.radioYes" value="'SELECTED'">
<mvt:elseif expr="g.radioFoo EQ 'no'">
<mvt:assign name="g.radioNo" value="'SELECTED'">
<mvt:elseif expr="g.radioFoo EQ 'maybe'">
<mvt:assign name="g.radioMaybe" value="'SELECTED'">
</mvt:if>


<input type="radio" name="radioFoo" value="yes" &mvt:global:radioYes; /> Yes
<input type="radio" name="radioFoo" value="non" &mvt:global:radioNo; /> No
<input type="radio" name="radioFoo" value="maybe" &mvt:global:radioMaybe; /> Maybe

Wow, thanks for the great examples! So that makes the checkboxes work for me. Now I'm stuck on dropdowns. I tried to apply the same logic as to radio buttons, but doesn't seem to be working. On screen refresh, still forgets what was selected.

<mvt:if expr="g.question3 EQ 'google'">
<mvt:assign name="g.question3google" value="SELECTED" />
<mvt:elseif expr="g.question3 EQ 'referral'">
<mvt:assign name="g.question3referral" value="SELECTED" />
</mvt:if>

*And I had to add " /" after the word "SELECTED" otherwise I kept getting compile errors.

Here is the dropdown:

<select name="question3" size="1" class="form-control" id="question3">
<option value="">Please Select One</option>
<option value="google" &mvte:global:question3google; />Google Search</option>
<option value="book" &mvte:global:question3book; />Book</option>
</select>


What am I missing?

Thanks,

Re: More than one instance of the Addendum

might be that the mvt assign you are using needs to understand that you want the literal word SELECTED...so you need single quotes 'SELECTED' inside the double quotes.

YES! That was it. Thanks!
