Thanks Michael, that works! I'm talking about using the new CFMX7
CFFORM structures. In fact I'm using the XML forms.
Here's how I can code the same options I had earlier, now using Michael's
delayed evaluate technique,
<cfformgroup type="horizontal" label="Preferred Payment Method:">
<cfinput type="radio" name="PaymentMethod" value="Visa" Label="Visa"
checked="#iif(order.getpaymentmethod() IS
'Visa',de('true'),de('false'))#" >
<cfinput type="radio" name="PaymentMethod" value="Mastercard"
Label="Mastercard"
checked="#iif(order.getpaymentmethod() IS
'Mastercard',de('true'),de('false'))#" >
<cfinput type="radio" name="PaymentMethod" value="Amex" Label="Amex"
checked="#iif(order.getpaymentmethod() IS
'Amex',de('true'),de('false'))#" >
</cfformgroup>
Now it's all in 5 lines of code instead of 15 lines, and the range of
options is listed only once. In a set of radio buttons where there are for
example 20 choices, this would make a huge difference to the amount of work,
typing, coding and future maintenance.
