The code below works
<cfformgroup type="horizontal"> <cfformitem type="text" width="120">Aquamid</cfformitem> <cfif qgetinfo.aquamid eq 1> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid" checked> <cfelse> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid"> </cfif> </cfformgroup> If you change the checked to checked="checked" it throws the error displayed below. Attribute validation error for tag CFINPUT. The value of the attribute CHECKED is invalid. The value cannot be converted to a boolean because it is not a simple value.Simple values are booleans, numbers, strings, and date-time values. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 12 May 2007 1:56 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Using Checkboxes in cfform Oh and this is wrong too, but it won't cause an error. And for an FYI anytime you are outputting a CF variable then you use hashes with a rare exception on some things. But when in code #'s are not needed so this <cfif #qgetinfo.aquamid# eq 1> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid" checked> <cfelse> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid"> </cfif> becomes <cfif qgetinfo.aquamid eq 1> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid" checked="checked"> <cfelse> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid"> </cfif> Or you could <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid" <cfif qgetinfo.aquamid>checked="checked"</cfif> > On 5/12/07, Pete <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi All > > I am using flash forms for the first time and so far everything seems to > be > working OK, well until I got to having to display radio buttons and > checkboxes. > > I am creating a update form where I read in data from an existing table. > > Basically I have in the program: > > <cfset aquamid=Trim(qgetinfo.aquamid)> > > And then I have: > > <cfformgroup type="horizontal"> > <cfformitem type="text" width="120">Aquamid</cfformitem> > <cfif #qgetinfo.aquamid# eq 1> > <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid" checked> > <cfelse> > <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid"> > </cfif> > <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="Aquamid" label="Please check > for Aquamid"> > </cfformgroup> > > However this is giving me an error and not displaying the page with the > checkbox being checked. > > I look forward to any replies on how this should be done. > > Cheers > > Pete > > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:277817 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
