I just wanted to put this issue to bed. Witango does properly wrap the "checked" or "selected" attributes of the HTML input or option tags, respectively. But the clients I've check (Windows IE5 & 6, Mac IE5, Mozilla 1.4, Netscape 7) apparently do not fully implement XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
Mozilla/Netscape: the double quotes around "checked" or "selected" are stripped by the client and do not appear in the source. IE: The double quotes appear in the source, but IE ignores the attribute, so the check boxes are NOT checked. I guess this is the transitional part of the document header ;). >I tried <@DQ> unsuccessfully, then re-jiggered the code, so I'll try it >again. It looks like it needs to be escaped somehow, maybe double double >quotes, or wrapped in single quotes. > >I'll let you know. > >>Ooh, >>Have you tried either? >> >><@LITERAL VALUE='"SELECTED"'> >>or >><@DQ>SELECTED<@DQ> >> >>Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com >>Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm >>Authorized MDaemon Mail Server Reseller >>http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm >> >> >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Bill Conlon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 3:02 PM >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: problem with double quotes (RH9/witango >>062/apache2.047) >> >>You do for XHTML >> >>>You don't need quotes around the word selected or checked >>>In the option tag it is switch not a name="value" pair >>> >>>Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com >>>Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm >>>Authorized MDaemon Mail Server Reseller >>>http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm >>> >>> >>>-----Original Message----- >>>From: Bill Conlon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 1:19 PM >>>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>Subject: Witango-Talk: problem with double quotes (RH9/witango >>>062/apache2.047) >>> >>>I'm perplexed.
