Best way is to use the [checked] tag so the form remembers the state between
refreshes.
First set the default:
[if !value confirm]
[value name="confirm" set="yes"]
[/if]
Then in the form:
<input type="radio" name="confirm" value="yes" [checked name="confirm"
value="yes"]/> Yes
<input type="radio" name="confirm" value="no" [checked name="confirm"
value="no"]/> No
The [checked] tag will output "CHECKED" in the final HTML if the value of
"confirm" equals the test value.
To do the same with select boxes, you'd use the [selected] tag in a similar
way:
<select name="confirm">
<option [selected name="confirm" value="yes"]>yes</option>
<option [selected name="confirm" value="no"]>no</option>
<option [selected name="confirm" value="no preference"]>no
preference</option>
</select>
