[FX.php List] Displaying existing data in Form for radio/checkboxes (Resend)

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Perfect!

Mine was ugly because I had reversed the if logic, creating a 
separate set of the three inputs for each value choice.

In your method, there are essentially three single radio buttons, 
each with its own id statement.

Much neater.

Thanks

Jonathan

BTW....What is the "/" for, before the end of input ">"?
