radio box option with associated value 0 pre-checked

LimpEmu

I noticed that if a radio box option has the value 0, it is always pre-checked for a new, empty form, e.g.:

{label:"EGD History",name:"cmegdh",type:"radio", options:[{label:"Yes",value:1},{label:"No",value:0}]}

will have the No checked, while:

{label:"EGD History",name:"cmegdh",type:"radio", options:[{label:"Yes",value:1},{label:"No",value:2}]}

will have both options empty (the way I prefer it).

I can address this by changing the value in my DB from 0 to 2 before loading the data into editor/datatables and reverse this process before writing data to my DB, but I am wondering whether I am missing something here, i.e., whether there is a more obvious solution. Is this behavior intentional?

Thank you!

I think its just doing a falsy comparison at that point, so 0 == ''.

If you use:

options:[
  {label:"Yes",value:"1"},
  {label:"No",value:"0"}]
}

that should do it. Let me know how you get on with it.

Of course, you are right. That works!
