Question

I have data being imported from a database and I would like to represent that data in a set of radio buttons. If the value in the database is 1 the “customer status” should show the “active” radio button else show the “inactive” button.

I don’t know much at all about JQuery but am learning day by day so any detailed help offered would be greatly appreciated.

I took the main code snippets from my files and am including them here.

The interesting thing about the code I am posting is that I can use the buttons to change the data in the database. That works but showing what is in the database isnt.

var admCustStatus = $("input[name='admCustStatus']:checked").val();


if (item.field == "admCustStatus")
{
   // ?? radio buttons
}

<tr>
    <td class="admMarker">Active<input type="radio" id="admCustStatusActive" name="admCustStatus" value="1" checked="checked" class="admChkbx"></td>
    <td class="admMarker">Inactive<input type="radio" id="admCustStatusInactive" name="admCustStatus" value="0" class="admChkbx"></td>
</tr>

This may be what you’re looking for:

if (item.field == "admCustStatus")
{
  if(item.value == 1) //assuming this is how you get the value
   $("#admCustStatusActive").attr('checked',true);
  else
   $("#admCustStatusInactive").attr('checked',true);
}
