RH Linux 6.0ish, IC 4.6.0, MySQL 3.23.27, barry template

I have a very small form with one select box. The idea is to give the
user an option to set a scratch variable from one of two choices.
Here's the code:

<form action="[area pictures]" method="post">
<select name="browse_date" >
<option value="date" [selected browse_date date]>taken</option>
<option value="entered_date" [selected browse_date entered_date]>entered</option></select>
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
[seti new_date_field][value-extended browse_date][/seti]

[if ! scratch date_field][seti date_field][scratch new_date_field][/seti]
[elsif scratch new_date_field]
[seti date_field][scratch new_date_field][/seti][/elsif]
[/if]
[if ! scratch date_field][set date_field]date[/set][/if]


This code is in my leftside template area. What happends is basically
nothing. What comes out is:




However, the selection box still shows 'taken'. Does the action of
the form need to be something other than just another IC page?

I don't think this line actually works. If I remove all the other
stuff and leave just this, I get:



Is the above code showing a fundamental lack of understanding IC? If
so, what am I missing?

Try one of these:

1) [if !scratch date_field][set date_field]date[/set][/if]

2) [if scratch date_field][else][set date_field]date[/set][/else][/if]

Good luck,

Cameron

I think it needs to be [if !scratch date_field].
