You can provide a ``memory'' for drop-down menus, radio buttons, and
checkboxes with the [checked] and [selected] tags.
This will output
CHECKED if the variable var_name is equal to
value. Not case sensitive.
As of 3.11: If the multiple attribute is defined and set to a non-zero value (1 is implicit) then if the value matches on a word/non-word boundary it will be
CHECKED. If the
default attribute is set to a non-zero value, then the box will be checked if the
variable var_name
is empty or zero.
[selected name="var_name" value="value" multiple="yes"]
This will output
SELECTED if the variable var_name is equal to
value. If the optional
MULTIPLE argument is present, it will look for any of
a variety of values. Not case sensitive.
Here is a drop-down menu that remembers an item-modifier color selection:
<SELECT NAME="color">
<OPTION [selected color blue]> Blue
<OPTION [selected color green]> Green
<OPTION [selected color red]> Red
</SELECT>
Here is the same thing, but for a shopping-basket color selection
<SELECT NAME="[modifier-name color]">
<OPTION [selected [modifier-name color] blue]> Blue
<OPTION [selected [modifier-name color] green]> Green
<OPTION [selected [modifier-name color] red]> Red
</SELECT>
