shipping by radio buttons

[pinbrook]

<select name="SHIPUSERDEFINED">



<option value="18 August 08">week beginning 18 August 08</option>
<option value="25 August 08">week beginning 25 August 08</option>
<option value="01 September 08">week beginning 01 September 08</option>
<option value="08 September 08">week beginning 08 September 08</option>
<option value="17 September 08">week beginning 17 September 08</option>
</select>

I'm using this code as an include to allow people to choose shipping week, client edits a txt file with this in and it uploads via additional files.

How do i change it so its radio buttons and not a drop down box, as people are allowing the mouse to change the selection so it causing problems

Radio buttons are done with inputs, not selects, so you will need to change that part.
A radio button group can be done like so:

<label><input type="radio" name="ShipDates" value="18 August 08">week beginning 18 August 08</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="ShipDates" value="25 August 08">week beginning 25 August 08</label>

How is this going to get back to the client, are you using the prompt box redefined, probably a good idea to do so if not, as details will be passed with the order then.

Yes its on the Shipping User Definable prompt

<tr>
   <td width="60%">
      <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ShipPrompt001Required%22%20%2f%3e" /><span class="actrequired"></actinic:block>
         Please choose the week you would like your order to be delivered:
      <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ShipPrompt001Required%22%20%2f%3e" /><span class="actrequired"></actinic:block>
   </td>
   <td width="40%">
   <!--  <input type="text" name="SHIPUSERDEFINED" size="20" maxlength="255" value="<Actinic:Variable Name="ShipUserDefined"/>" /> --> 
  <actinic:block php="true"> 
include('http://www.xxx.co.uk/acatalog/shipping-dates.txt'); 

</actinic:block>   
</td>
</tr>

My txt file now looks like this

<select name="SHIPUSERDEFINED">
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <p>
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="RadioGroup1" value="radio" />
      Week beginning 3rd November 08</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="RadioGroup1" value="radio" />
      Week beginning 10th November 08</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="RadioGroup1" value="radio" />
      Week beginning 17th November 08</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="RadioGroup1" value="radio" />
      Week beginning 24th November 08</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="RadioGroup1" value="radio" />
      Week beginning 1st December 08</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="RadioGroup1" value="radio" />
      Week beginning 8th December 08</label>
    <br />
  </p>
  
</form>
</select>

but in the checkout i've still got a drop down box. (Yes i know its using the right txt file as the dates shown are the ones in the radio code)

doh what a cretin....

hard coded url in Shipping User Definable prompt

[pinbrook]

ok i'm still stuck.

i've got the radio buttons in the checkout, but i'm not passing the value back to the packing list/invoice.

code in post one acheived this - but its the drop down, i need radio buttons as to many incorrect dates are being sent by customers scrolling and changing date and not noticing

post 3 is current code

It looks to me as if all your input buttons have the wrong name and values. See Lee's post above.

<p> <label>

Week beginning 17th November 08</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="SHIPUSERDEFINED" value="24th November 08"/>
