default value for a radio button and or check box

[ggorge]

I am not sure where to go on this. I ahve in the oast used the action page to
use the <cfif len(form.name) is 0> and <cfif form.name EQ ""><cfset form.name =
value></cfif> But this does not seem to work with a check box or radio
buttion.

In regards the the radio if not selected it will send a default value to the
database. In regards to the check box if unchecked it will send a 0 to the
database as checked would be 1.

Not sure if the code should be on the from page or the action page prior to
the insert

I would pre-select one of the radio buttons when I load the form page. If appropriate, give them a "one of these options" button and preselect that.
