form options

i have radio button and values of "yes" and "No" on the form.
how do i make "No" default value. no nothing is selected by default(now)
second
i want to make textbox format for amount or money..if somebody type 12 should be sumbited in database as $12.00
or
1214 should be sumbited as $12.04
any idea?

Let's say you have your radio buttons below. In the one with a value of "NO", you'd want to just type in "checked" in the HTML.
For example:

<input type="radio" name="myRadio" value="No" checked> NO
<input type="radio" name="myRadio" value="Yes"> YES


For your second issue, I'd recommend looking into the FormatCurrency function:

Hope that helps!

What datatype is your database for the currency?Character or Number?

I would recommend Number and not put the $ in the database, only show it on the client side.

Also, Format(number, decimal places) will show 12 as 12.00

Good Luck

datatype is "money" should i change it to numeric?

jstrohofer

does that formula goes to database? server or client side?

i would prefer to be able to validate on client side. force user to type in $00.00 before submiting the form
where 00.00 can be any number from 0-9
that all digits require for this project
how can i do this? if possible

If you want to check clients side, JavaScript has a built in function which is: isNumeric I believe it returns a boolean.

Personally, I like to stay away from type "money", I perfer a numerical, just a preference.
