Why doesn ITPS handle Radio and CheckBox input fields where no default is selected?
The browser doesn’t actually send these types of HTML input fields to ITPS (or any CGI) if they aren’t selected. One method to avoid problems when using these type input fields with required tags is to select a default using the appropriate attribute (selected or checked). Do NOT add a hidden field with the default value to the form, because in the event, the user does select a value, ITPS will receive two name/value pairs and concatenate the values. This will almost certainly produce the dreaded (and user unfriendly) “Page Construction Error”.
