Thread: default shipping method

We use checkout1 and wish to have a shipping option pre selected how can this be done?

Thanks in advance.

Can we change it to a drop down list?
Or even have one of the radio buttons pre selected?

Thanks in advance.

Has no one done this?
We just need one option as a default due to some customers making errors and causing odd errors in the orders.

We have access to the source as well.
Thanks.

Still anyone?

Add this to your checkout1 page :-

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
        	if (document.getElementById("ShippingMethodID1")) {
        		document.getElementById("ShippingMethodID1").checked = true;
        	}
</script>

This solution did not work.
It looked like it would but no joy.

Very strange - working perfectly here....

tried it on the checkout1 page and on the skin we use for the checkout page. No joy. Tried it on chrome and ie.

Go to your checkout1 page - make sure you're logged in (or have submitted your address details to 'get shipping methods), then paste this into your address bar :-

C#/VB.NET Code:

javascript:void(document.getElementById("ShippingMethodID1").checked = true) 


You should see the first radio button for the shipping methods become checked.
(Just tried it on your site & it works.....).

The JavaScript injection works however the JavaScript on the page does not...
Very odd...

make sure the element that's rendered on the page has its ID defined, and not just name.

We know the ID is defined as the JavaScript injection works fine. As well as this you can view the source on the page and see all ID's listed.

For some reason the JavaScript doesn't seem to work when simply placed on the page.

Where exactly are you pasting it mate - does it throw an error?
Can you put it in place & let me have a look?

Pasting in your code

C#/VB.NET Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
            if (document.getElementById("ShippingMethodID1")) {
                document.getElementById("ShippingMethodID1").checked = true;
            }
</script> 


in the head of the template used only on checkout1

I have been playing with the code on local and everytime i get it working (in the aspx file or the template) i cause another issue.

Ahh - that might be your problem.
If it's in the head - then it might be trying to run before the page has downloaded.
i.e. before "ShippingMethodID1" actually exists.

I put mine just before the closing </body> tag.

Still no joy

No just doesn't work. Nothing different happens.
