Re: [Proto-Scripty] Variables in $$() ?????
David, although your suggestion doesn't throw any errors, it doesnt work
either... kinda wierd as I thought it would... and it would have been MUCH
simpler to implement too!

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Variables in $$() ?????
OK, if I got this right and I don't think I do... because its selecting the
last state (WY) and not the state it should be selecting (FL)
var selectTemplate = new Template('o.value == #{matchString}');
selectThis = {matchString:
transport.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('state')[0].firstChild.nodeValue
};
$$('select#ajstate option').each(function(o){
if(selectTemplate.evaluate(selectThis)){o.selected = true;$break;}
});
The radio button seems to be working but I need to change the data to test
it:
var radioTemplate = new
Template('input[type=radio][name=#{selectID}][value=#{selectValue}]');
selectThis = {selectID: 'type', selectValue:
transport.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('type')[0].firstChild.nodeValue
};
$$(radioTemplate.evaluate(selectThis))[0].writeAttribute("checked",
"checked");

What about this:
$$("input[type=radio][name='type'][value='" + selectThis + "']")
?

You're passing a string constant to $$

'selectThis' will not be evaluated, as you seem to be expecting. Have a

I've hit this in two seperate places and not exactly sure why...

If "value" is hard set with '3' the following works:

Type casting doesn't work either:

selectThis = String('3');
$$("input[type=radio][name='type'][value=selectThis]")[0].writeAttribute("ch

I'm having the same problem here too (compare o.value== 'GA' and the select
