Hi,

 

I have a Rapido (3.4) solution in both Dynamicweb 9.10.11 and 9.12.9, and in either I'm able to continue to the next step of the checkout without having selected a shipping method.

 

Is there anything else that I am missing?

 

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Hi Nuno

Dynamicweb only validates fields that are submitted to avoid validation errors on steps where a field is not present.

Radio buttons and Checkboxes in html will not submit anything if nothing has been selected. In this case you have a radiobutton group where nothing has been selected and then the field is not submitted and hence not validated by Dynamicweb.

See "Data representation of a radio group" in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/radio

You have 2 ways of solving it - setting a default shipping provider in backend so one of them will always be selected, change the markup to set selected at at least one of them, or add a hidden field with the same name as the radio buttons. The latter will submit an empty field and trigger validation. If a shipping is selected both values are being submitted and then validation will pass.

Hi Nicolai,

That makes sense. Hadn't thought of that.

 

Thank you.
