on a really long form, that would be a great thing...

is there a way?

thanks!

Hi rodsdesign,

See this FAQ hmmmm . . . didn't I just post that somewhere else?

Bob

Sorry Bob,

I really did do a search...😟

but thanks for the FAQ

by the way - I think there's an error on the FAQ for <option>

shouldn't it be:

<select name="select">
<option value="ABC" <?php if ($_POST['select']) == 'ABC') echo ' selected="selected"'; ?>>ABC</option>

etc... ?

I know I had to add the value="ABC" and the double quotes around "selected" to get it to work.

thanks again for all you do on this forum. Chronoforms is one of the best extensions for Joomla!

Hi Rod,

That code looks good - I'll summon up the energy to fix the FAQ - the editor there is horrid!

Hi,

I have added the code below to my form html, but I can't get it to work.

<select name="edityesno" size="1" class="inputbox">
    <option value="none" selected="selected">Please Select</option>
    <option value="yes" <?php if ($_POST['edityesno']) == 'yes') echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>>Yes</option>
    <option value="no" <?php if ($_POST['edityesno']) == 'no') echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>>No</option>
    </select>

Now when I try and view my form I get this error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_EQUAL in /home/mike420/public_html/components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.html.php(81) : eval()'d code on line 30

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hi, remove the extra wrong bracket ) after the POST variable in the 2 if statements : $_POST['edityesno']) -> $_POST['edityesno']

Cheers

Max

P.S: you can also have only echo 'selected'; for simplicity!
