Howdy All

Using FP2002 and have constructed a Web Site Gift List
with a radio button next to each item. The idea was that
once the item had been selected it would stay on so other
visitors to the site know the gift has been chosen by
someone else. But that's not what's happening, once the
selection is made and you revisit the site the selection
is cleared.

I've just used a simple checkbox html as here:

<p align="left"><font color="#808000">&nbsp;
<input type="checkbox" name="A2" value="off"> GIFT
1</font></p>

Is this a simple option that can be selected in FP or
does this sort of thing require cgi scripting.

All help appreciated - thanks Pete

You going to have to store the selection somewhere and have it associated with a user, this would
require server-side scripting and a database.
