Hello all, Thanks for the feed back.
I had to specifically mention CHECKED="CHECKED" in the if statement to make it work. Simply by saying CHECKED alone (though a valid html attribute) does not seem to work. Basically to be more clear I tried doing this first <input type="radio" name="beepStatus" value="yes" <tmpl_if yesBeeps>cheecked</tmpl_if> it did not work. but by doing this it worked <input type="radio" name="beepStatus" value="yes" <tmpl_if yesBeeps>cheecked="checked"</tmpl_if> worked out well. I am guessing the html template engine must be looking for some name-value pairs and just by seeing a single value with out a matching name would have rejected interpreting it. Thanks to all and special thanks to simonartist. rama ----- Original Message ----- From: "Justin Simoni" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Rama Srinivas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 2:28 PM Subject: Re: [htmltmpl] Problems with HTML::TEMPLATE I usually do something like this: <input type="radio" name="beepStatus" value="yes" <tmpl_if yesBeeps>checked="checked"</tmpl_if> /> Where, "yesBeeps" holds 1 or undefined. I guess your perl code would look something like: my $yesBeeps = 0; $yesBeeps = 1 if beepStatus eq "yes"; $tmpl_obj->param(yesBeeps => $yesBeeps); You may also want to look at HTML::FillinForm, which is a real time saver. If you have a large form with many form elements, HTML::Template gets a bit unwieldy: http://search.cpan.org/~tjmather/HTML-FillInForm-1.05/lib/HTML/ FillInForm.pm That way, you can pass HTML::FillnForm the value of, "beepStatus", and if there's a radiobutton that's associated with that value, it'll get checked. Like *magic*. I preprocess an HTML page with HTML::Template, and then give it to HTML::FillinForm to fill in the holes. Works really well. Saves me time. Makes me look like a supehero.
