preSelected Radio Buttons

jQuery to the rescue:

Add to TN_Express_Purchase_Inst content type for the perf,

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
  $('input[type=radio][value=508]').attr('checked','checked');
});
</script>

Very brittle, i.e. easily breakable, but should do what you want!

YAY! That worked. I knew there was a way to make this work but was working from the URL instead. Thanks!! 

Hopefully this trick with help others as well!

Uh oh, you might want to do some more testing -- if you click a different radio button that causes a page reload, the script will trigger again and reset back to the lawn price.

The price doesn't update on initial load either -- so that's more of a starting point. You'd need to look into executing a click trigger on that element so that TNEW reloads with the proper price selected, and find some way to then prevent subsequent runs. Within the realm of possibility, but not quite as simple as initially thought...

I believe if all you want is to have by default  for a particular radio selected, in the input for the button add "checked" in the appropriate radio.

example:

<input type="radio" name="button1" value="1"> first button not checked  </input><br>
<input type="radio" name="button2" value="2" checked> checked by default</input>

Oops. Tnew. right ... nevermind.

Click trigger would be:

$('input[type=radio][value=508]').trigger('click');

but if you put that in a $(document).ready(); then the page will ALWAYS select that option on every load. Not sure the best way to make sure you only do that the first time. First (and simultaneously worst) thought would be to add a dummy price zone ordered first for the code to look out for and simultaneously hide -- that way you know if you start with it selected, that was the first page load and can execute the rest of the code based on that.

That said, it's looking like all of what I've suggested is a pretty terrible idea and should probably be avoided!

haahaa! all this for a simple button click! well thanks for all your input. Maybe the TNEW team will build these kind of things into future builds where we'll have a system table true/false, on/off parameter that will allow us choose what we'd like preSelected.

Thanks everyone :)

Hi Lisa!

Suzie Davidson from the Web Products team chiming in here. TNEW does offer a URL structure that you can use which will pre-populate a zone specific radio button on your best available page, which is available in version 5.0 and greater.

Please open a TASK ticket in the Web Products workspace when you are ready to begin your upgrade so that you may take advantage of the latest functionality TNEW has to offer.

Cheers,

Suzie 

Oh, Nice!

Let's get that added to the documentation!
