Well I think you are right - this could be the problem. But then - how do I make the test to see if they are identical ? fileid proparly is a string and id is an int ... can I convert one of them - if so, how? Gitte On Tuesday 08 May 2001 15:59, Laurie Nason wrote:
Have you tried checking to see if one of your 27's is a string and one is a number? I seem to remember that I had this problem before, if I find it I will let you know
BTW - you could make the Selected a little snazzier by doing the following.... saves on a few if statements
SELECT NAME="fileid" SIZE="1"> <OPTION VALUE="0">-- Select mediafile --</OPTION> <dtml-in sqlGetMediafiles> <dtml-if fileid> <OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var id>" <dtml-if expr="fileid == id">SELECTED></dtml-if>> <dtml-var filename></OPTION> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </SELECT>

No no ... It insert the correct id ... I can see that in the html-source ... so that's not the problem.
What makes me wonder is that even though there is an id=27 and a fileid=27 it does set this as SELECTED ... why ?

Hi Gitte,
bad idea to use "id" for this, you are probably running into a namespace-problem.
To check this, just give out the content of "id" with <dtml-var id>
id is probably the id of your document or folder. Try to find an other identifier which is not used by zope itself.

Hello,
I have run into this weird problem: I am trying to set an option in a select box SELECTED in the id of the option is the same as the value of the select box. The code looks like this: <SELECT NAME="fileid" SIZE="1"> <OPTION VALUE="0">-- Select mediafile --</OPTION> <dtml-in sqlGetMediafiles> <dtml-if fileid> <dtml-if expr="fileid == id"> <OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var id>" SELECTED><dtml-var filename></OPTION> <dtml-else> <OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var filename></OPTION> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> <OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var id>"><dtml-var filename></OPTION> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </SELECT>
Now when I have selected a file, I can see that the fileid variable is set. Well then the select box should select the file that has that id right?
But it doesn't - it doesn't select anything.
Can anyone help me?
