What about this:
$$("input[type=radio][name='type'][value='" + selectThis + "']")
?

Jonathan,
Thanks for that but like most things in the prototype documentation,
it lacks the type of clarity that I can understand.
IOW, I can read the documentation, scratch my head and say huh? I
leave that documentation thinking "this might be what I need but have
no clue as to how to implement that to solve my problem."
Which is exactly what happened here... OK, I need to use templates to
somehow sprintf the string constant into a direct value but huh?

You're passing a string constant to $$

'selectThis' will not be evaluated, as you seem to be expecting.
Have a loook at Tenplate to do what you want:

*Subject:* [Proto-Scripty] Variables in $$() ?????
I've hit this in two seperate places and not exactly sure why...
(I think its the 18 hour days, 7 days a week... <g>)
If "value" is hard set with '3' the following works:
$$("input[type=radio][name='type'][value='3']")[0].writeAttribute("checked",
"checked");
However, if we use a variable (selectThis) and assign it "3"
it does not work.
var selectThis;
selectThis = '3';
$$("input[type=radio][name='type'][value=selectThis]")[0].writeAttribute("checked",
"checked");
Type casting doesn't work either:
var selectThis;
selectThis = String('3');
$$("input[type=radio][name='type'][value=selectThis]")[0].writeAttribute("checked",
"checked");
I'm having the same problem here too (compare o.value== 'GA'
and the select gets set to GA):
selectThis = 'GA'
$$('select#ajstate option').each(function(o){
if(o.value==selectThis){o.selected = true;$break;}
});
What am I missing here?
