select default radio button in form

[steve]

Sorry if I have post this two times.

Hi all

What I'm trying to achieve is:
I have a form with two radio buttons,
if a visitors check radio button 2 and click submit in the next page
radio button 2 to be check by default

If I use this code

<% If Request.Item("col")="firstcoll" Then Response.Write "Checked"%>

in .aspx page for example like that

<input type="radio" name="col" value="firstcoll" <% If
Request.Item("col")="firstcoll" Then Response.Write "Checked"%>>
(I have try to omit the code and I have try <%@ but still the same)

it breaking the script and I'm getting error BC30800
I have post it below

Here is the reason you've been unable to get help with this. aspx is .Net
technology.
There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a group where those dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

As Bob pointed out you would be better off asking in a dotnet group.
However, IIRC, .NET no longer allows the VB subroutine call format of
"method param, param, param" and requires "method(param,param,param)"

Try changing Response.Write "Checked" to Response.Write( "Checked")

Thanks guys

and yes you are right that is the correct way
Response.Write ("Checked")
