select default radio button in form

Sorry if I have post this two times.

Hi all

What I'm trying to achieve is:
I have a form with two radio buttons,
if a visitors check radio button 2 and click submit in the next page
radio button 2 to be check by default

If I use this code

<% If Request.Item("col")="firstcoll" Then Response.Write "Checked"%>

in .aspx page for example like that

<input type="radio" name="col" value="firstcoll" <% If
Request.Item("col")="firstcoll" Then Response.Write "Checked"%>>
(I have try to omit the code and I have try <%@ but still the same)

it breaking the script and I'm getting error BC30800
I have post it below


Server Error in '/esearch' Application.

Here is the reason you've been unable to get help with this. aspx is .Net
technology.
There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a group where those dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

As Bob pointed out you would be better off asking in a dotnet group.
However, IIRC, .NET no longer allows the VB subroutine call format of
"method param, param, param" and requires "method(param,param,param)"

Try changing Response.Write "Checked" to Response.Write( "Checked")
