Is there any way to use radio buttons generated dynamically as a result of a ZSQL method. Each iteration needs to have a different name if they are to be treated as a separate group. The problem is compounded by the fact that I must write the user's choices to a database. Here is the code I have so far:
<form action=formhandlerinputresults> <table border=1> <tr><th>Name</th><th>Exam Grade</th><th>Term Grade</th></tr> <dtml-in getclassmembers> <input type=hidden name=result.studentid:records value=<dtml-var studentid>> <input type=hidden name=result.classid:records value=<dtml-var teacherid>> <tr><td><dtml-var firstname> <dtml-var surname></td> <td><input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="A">A <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="B">B <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="C">C <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="D">D <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="E">E <input type =radio name=result.mark:records value="F">F </td><td><input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="A">A <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="B">B <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="C">C <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="D">D <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="E">E <input type =radio name=result.termmark:records value="F">F </td></tr></dtml-in></table> <br><br>
<input type=submit value="Enter Results">
I am not quite sure what you are looking for, but you want to have a different radio button 'name' for each iteration thru the dtml-in loop you could use the 'sequence-index' or 'sequence-number' loop variables. eg. <input type =radio name=<dtml-var sequence-index>:records value="A">B <input type =radio name=<dtml-var sequence-index>:records value="B">B <input type =radio name=<dtml-var sequence-index>:records value="C">B <input type =radio name=<dtml-var sequence-index>:records value="D">B <input type =radio name=<dtml-var sequence-index>:records value="E">B <input type =radio name=<dtml-var sequence-index>:records value="F">B This will give you a set of radio buttons (labelled 0-n, where n is the number of dtml-in loop iterations - 1) that have the same name for any given loop iteration, but will change from one loop iteration to the next. (sequence-number counts from 1 instead of from 0). HTH Jonathan
