Is there an easy way to use TAL/TALES  to set the checked values of radios and checkboxes and the selected attribute of options?
 
I am trying to find a clean example. 
 
For Instance:
 
                    <select name="question_type" id="question_type">
                        <option value="Text" selected="selected">Text</option>
                        <option value="TextArea">TextArea</option>
                        <option value="ListSingle">ListSingle</option>
                        <option value="ListMulti">ListMulti</option>
                        <option value="ComboSingle">ComboSingle</option>
                        <option value="Option">Option</option>
                        <option value="Checkbox">Checkbox</option>
                      </select>
 
If the question_type was in the REQUEST object, how would I evaluate which one was selected?
 
Same goes for radio buttons:
                    <input type="radio" name="required" value="1" /> Yes
                    <input name="required" type="radio" value="0" checked="checked" /> No
 
and the 'required' was in the REQUEST object.
 
I am trying to do this using TAL/TALES only.
 
 
Thanks for any suggestions/code samples.
