Why doesn't the radio button "check"?

Hi,

Why doesn't the second radio button "check" below? The first disabled OK. This is in a <form> tag, just snipped this out..

Thanks

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">			
			<tr>
			<td valign="top">

			<input type="radio" name="ingredientDetailsId" value="387"   disabled="disabled" onChange="swapPrice('&pound;11.99');" /> <span class="smallText"><strong><span class="sale">60 Capsules<span></span> </strong></span></td></tr>

			<tr>
			<td valign="top">
			<input type="radio" name="ingredientDetailsId" value="388"  checked="checked"  onChange="swapPrice('&pound;18.99');" /> <span class="smallText"><strong>270 Capsules </strong></span></td>	
</tr></table>

Code (markup):

 

I believe you are doing it wrong... the format is <input type="radio" name="something" CHECKED>

It actually doesn't have an internal variable (i guess this is whaty ou would call it?) set for it. Looks odd, but works.

 

It works fine for me:

 

And you have to add a value to checked if using XHTML (checked="checked").

If you don't mind me asking, why are you using a table to lay yout your form anyway?

 

Thanks guys...

Dan: Why how else would I do it? CSS? I suppose I'm stuck in a time warp... Do you feel its worth while me learning CSS inside-out for positioning instead?

 

In a nutshell, yes. Tell you what. Show me the full HTML code for your form and I'll re-code it for you using semantic HTML and CSS for you.

 

Where were you when I was designing my site?

 

Sounds like a plan! I will then use the same style on future designs. I did make the site 4 years ago so maybe CSS wasn't the way to go then. Its not very large but will make good learning\reading for me!
