Examples

To display HTML check boxes for a FileMaker field with an associated value list:

Use the [Value_List] ... [/Value_List] and [Value_ListItem] tags to generate check boxes with the appropriate values and the [Checked] to ensure that the proper check boxes are checked, based upon the current field values.

The following example creates a series of check boxes for the Favorite_Color field. The results show Yellow checked as the favorite color.

[Value_List: 'Favorite_Color']
  <br><input type="checkbox" name="Favorite_Color"
    value="[Value_ListItem]" [Checked]> [Value_ListItem]
[/Value_List]

<br><input type="checkbox" name="Favorite_Color"
    value="Red"> Red
<br><input type="checkbox" name="Favorite_Color"
    value="Blue"> Blue
<br><input type="checkbox" name="Favorite_Color"
    value="Yellow" checked> Yellow

To display HTML radio buttons for a FileMaker field with an associated value list:

Use the [Value_List] ... [/Value_List] and [Value_ListItem] tags to generate radio buttons with the appropriate values and the [Checked] to ensure that the proper radio buttons are selected, based upon the current field values.

The following example creates a series of radio buttons for the Favorite_Color field. The results show Yellow selected as the favorite color.
