[RESOLVED] Radio button woes (IE problem...?)

[robkir]

I've spent a couple of hours confused. What in the heck is wrong with this code? This works perfectly with FF, but it disappears and does other weird things in IE (8). I tried it with check boxes instead of radio buttons. No dice. I've used check boxes in other IE programs and they work fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	<td style="width: 625px"><strong>I plan to bring a referee team to the tournament 
	</strong>YES:
	<input name ="bringRefs_ud" type ="radio" value= 1 
	<?php if($info['bringRefs'] ==1){ echo "checked";} ?>" 
		style="width: 20px; background-color: #81F7F3;">		
	NO:
	<input name ="bringRefs_ud" type ="radio" value= 2 
	<?php if($info['bringRefs'] ==2){ echo "checked";} ?>" 
		style="width: 20px; background-color: #81F7F3;"></td>

Start by validating your code since you can't expect browsers to guess what your code is supposed to mean. Once the markup is correct, you can start dealing with non standard compliance issues.

you have two extra double quote behind "checked"
<?php if($info['bringRefs'] ==1){ echo "checked";} ?>"

Remove them.
Hope it works...

    <td style="width: 625px"><strong>I plan to bring a referee team to the tournament
    </strong>YES:
    <input name="bringRefs_ud" type="radio" value="1"
    <?php if($info['bringRefs'] ==1){ echo "checked";} ?>
        style="width: 20px; background-color: #81F7F3;">        

    NO:
    <input name="bringRefs_ud" type="radio" value="2"
    <?php if($info['bringRefs'] ==2){ echo "checked";} ?>
        style="width: 20px; background-color: #81F7F3;"></td>

I tested following version with Firefox and IE7. Successfully

<?php

if(isset($_POST['bring'])){
    $bring = $_POST['bring'];
}else{
    $bring = '';
}
?>
<form method="post">
    <td style="width: 625px"><strong>I plan to bring a referee team to the tournament
    </strong>YES:
    <input name="bring" type="radio" value="1"
    <?php if($bring ==1){ echo "checked";} ?>
        style="width: 20px; background-color: #81F7F3;">        

    NO:
    <input name="bring" type="radio" value="2"
    <?php if($bring ==2){ echo "checked";} ?>
        style="width: 20px; background-color: #81F7F3;"></td>

<input type="submit">        

</form>

Thanks for the url. It's a tool I need (65 errors in my 1200 lines of code--worrisome, but now I know how to find the problem children)

Hi halojoy

There were actually two blunders in the code. As you pointed out, the double quotes and I forgot to enclose the value in quotes. Once I corrected those two errors, it was smooth sailing.

Thanks. I really appreciated your help.

Not really that worrisome 🙂
Those errors are usually quick to fix, and you can sometimes correct 20 of them at once. E.g. a function or loop printing image tags that lacks an alt tag or something like that.
