Checked option for radio type input boxes not working.

[Daniel Rudy]

What is the difference between these two code fragments?


This one does not work. The radio button with the checked attribute is
not checked at all.

<table>

<td align="center"><input type="radio" name="pwdsel" value="never"
disabled></td>
<td nowrap>Never</td>

This one does work. The radio button with the checked attribute does
show as checked.

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? This fails in both IE 7 and
Seamonkey.

Shows checked for me

Not suppling a URL to the actual page in question.


Maybe your browser cached an older version...

I think the problem is that multiple inputs have name="pwdsel". If you
remove/change them you'll see both work.

For radio buttons, you're *supposed* to have multiple inputs with the
same name. That's what causes only one of them to be checked at a given
time (that is, what causes the checked one to become unchecked when the
user clicks another one).

What browser are you using?

That is not possible. This is on an internal development server that
cannot be accessed from the Internet.

That's what I thought too, but that code is from the Show Source command
in Seamonkey.

What browser are you using?

How about you?

That is not possible. This is on an internal development server that
cannot be accessed from the Internet.

Bullshit. If you want others to help you for free, the least you can do is
to upload a demo page for the problem, if you cannot reveal the real page.

Is the problem that <input type="radio" checked disabled> does not look like
checked? Then _you_ specify the browser(s) in which this happens (and a URL
of a demo).

Or should we guess that your page is somewhere on the spamthis.net domain
since your From field specifies that you are reachable there?
