<H2>8.4. Checks and Selections</H2>
<P>A &quot;memory&quot; for drop-down menus, radio buttons, and checkboxes can be provided with the <TT>[checked]</TT> and <TT>[selected]</TT> tags.</P>
<P><B>[checked var_name value]</B></P>
<UL>
named attributes: <TT>[checked name=&quot;var_name&quot; value=&quot;value&quot; cgi=0|1 multiple=0|1 default=0|1 case=0|1]</TT>
<BR>
This will output CHECKED if the variable <TT>var_name</TT> is equal to <TT>value</TT>. Set the <TT>cgi</TT> attribute to use cgi instead of values data. Not case sensitive unless <TT>case</TT> is set.
<BR>
If the <TT>multiple</TT> attribute is defined and set to a non-zero value (1 is implicit) and if the value matches on a word/non-word boundary, it will be CHECKED. If the <TT>default</TT> attribute is set to a non-zero value, the box will be checked if the variable <TT>var_name</TT> is empty or zero.</UL>
<P><B>[selected var_name value]</B></P>
<UL>
named attributes: <TT>[selected name=&quot;var_name&quot; value=&quot;value&quot; cgi=0|1 multiple=0|1 default=0|1 case=0|1]</TT>
<BR>
This will output SELECTED if the variable <TT>var_name</TT> is equal to <TT>value</TT>. Set the <TT>cgi</TT> attribute to use cgi instead of values data. Not case sensitive unless <TT>case</TT> is set.
<BR>
If the <TT>multiple</TT> argument is present, it will look for any of a variety of values. If the <TT>default</TT> attribute is set, SELECT will be output if the variable is empty or zero. Not case sensitive unless <TT>case</TT> is set.
<BR>
Here is a drop-down menu that remembers an item-modifier color selection:</UL>
<PRE>
            &lt;SELECT NAME=&quot;color&quot;&gt;
            &lt;OPTION [selected name=color value=blue]&gt; Blue
            &lt;OPTION [selected name=color value=green]&gt; Green
            &lt;OPTION [selected name=color value=red]&gt; Red
            &lt;/SELECT&gt;
</PRE>
<UL>
For databases or large lists of items, sometimes it is easier to use <TT>[loop list=&quot;foo bar&quot;]</TT> and its <TT>option</TT> parameter. The above can be achieved with:</UL>
<PRE>
            &lt;SELECT NAME=color&gt;
            [loop list=&quot;Blue Green Red&quot; option=color]
            &lt;OPTION&gt; [loop-code]
            [/loop]
            &lt;/SELECT&gt;
</PRE>
