Perhaps it's because you are trying to use an option element without enclosing it within a checkbox element?

Not sure how the checkbox tag disappeared. I have edited my previous post.

Syntax is correct, check if any of the previous item is the cause of issue, may be something earlier or later is not closed properly.

It would be better if you can post your entire code..

Here is the entire DCT code. The select attribute does not work for radio, checkbox and select box.

Please look for the "Transition from Planning to Design" item.

Thanks,

Guys,

Its getting really wired. I had added an extra container [html][/html] and now I can see the check box, radio and the select box values preselected. Can any one tell me the reason for such behaviour? We don't want to add a new container as we might have to update all the DCRs to match the XML structure. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Could your inline in the beginning possibly be messing things up ?

Can you try it without the inline ?

Thanks for the reply. Even if I remove the inline code and specify the select attribute directly inside the DCT, the issue still exists.

I do not know what to tell you, I loaded this on my system and removed the inline. I was getting JS errors with the second container there and no errors after I removed it. In either case I was able to change the Transition from Panning to Design checkbox.

It is selected when I open a new DCR.

Hi nipper,

Yes you are right. What I mean to say is that if I add the second container, the select attrib. is working. But if i have the DCT with just 1 container, the select is not preselecting the checkbox. Please ignore the JS part, as the error is because I added the second container to see whether the select was working or not.

Thanks!

That is not the behavior I saw. I removed the second container, and the checkbox is checked when I created a new one.

Andy,

It is wierd. I have now simplified the DCT to drill down the issue. Here is the DCT code and I have attached a screenshot of what I am seeing.

Kindly note that the checkbox in the container "Milestone" is not checked eventhough we had specified the attribute (select="t") for the item. But in the container "second" the checkbox is checked with out any issue. Is there any other way I could resolve this problem? Thanks for the replies.

Thanks!

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but could you upload your PLC_DctHlplink.ipl file. I'm curious as to how you were able to get that link on the DCT.

Thank you.

As for the issue you are experiencing, I too tried it and was unable to replicate the issue on my system. Both checkboxes are checked.

You are opening up a new DCR and not a previously saved DCR, correct? In your screenshot you posted I notice that the DCR has a name already indicating that it has been saved. If it was saved with it unchecked, then it will stay that way until it is checked and then resaved.

Is this issue happening on a new DCR?

You ROCK!!! Yes I was testing on the already existing DCR. That was the issue. Thanks a lot for solving this mystery.

Hmmm, must be a TS bug, the UI opens a saved DCR as it was saved. :-)
