I have a form with a number of radio buttons, and I'm wanting to be able to select a default vaule, or alternatively give the user their prior selections on this form. I can do it with a series of CFIF (or alternatively using CFSWITCH, but the coding in the newfangled CFFORM is so cool, I feel sure there must be a way to do this in a much simpler way. Like for example surely there's a parameter in the input/radio tag to allow it to be checked if the value matches.
I looked through the docs, and couldn't see an example of any cfinput type=radio where the value was set by coldfusion. Is there an easier/shorter way to accomplish what I'm trying to do than this: ( I think if you had a list of 20 or more radio buttons as i've done before today you'd end up with a seriously unweildy piece of code.)
