Payment method changed to radio buttons but no default

[printerbase]

We’ve changed the payment method options in our checkout to radio buttons as per the advanced user guide but it does not set a default option. All the radio buttons are blank until you click one.

How can we get it to default to one method ?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply but the link you provided only provides help for standard radio button methods.

The problem we have is we are using radio buttons in Actinic's "Design/Text/HTML" section as per the AUG.

This method was taken from the AUG and works to a point, by which I mean we now get radio buttons instead of a drop-down list. The problem is it doesn’t default to any of the payment methods and we can’t see a way to make it do this.

It appears to be ignoring the code we put in the "Default Payment Option", which according to the AUG should be:
<input type="radio" name="PAYMENTMETHOD" value="%s" checked="checked">%s<br />

Any ideas how we can default a payment method ?

do you have a "fallback" method selected in Business Settings > Payments & Security ?

does selecting one of these change anything?

Yes I tried that as well but still no joy.

strange. I have implemented the same solution and the checked="checked" works for me.

It's active on both my sites if you want to test it.
