OK, if I got this right and I don't think I do... because its selecting the
last state (WY) and not the state it should be selecting (FL)
var selectTemplate = new Template('o.value == #{matchString}');
selectThis = {matchString:
transport.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('state')[0].firstChild.nodeValue
};
$$('select#ajstate option').each(function(o){
if(selectTemplate.evaluate(selectThis)){o.selected = true;$break;}
});
The radio button seems to be working but I need to change the data to test
it:
var radioTemplate = new
Template('input[type=radio][name=#{selectID}][value=#{selectValue}]');
selectThis = {selectID: 'type', selectValue:
transport.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('type')[0].firstChild.nodeValue
};
$$(radioTemplate.evaluate(selectThis))[0].writeAttribute("checked",
"checked");
