RE: RE: BSelect and <input> elements of type radio and checkbox?

Hi Diez,

Your approach uses a naming convention on the directive, right? ie. rather
than directives like:

Get_Data.FooModel.SomeOption.1
Get_Data.FooModel.SomeOption.2
Get_Data.FooModel.SomeOption.3
...

you'd have something like:

Get_Data.FooModel.SomeOption1
Get_Data.FooModel.SomeOption2
Get_Data.FooModel.SomeOption3
...

Is that correct? I didn't mention this approach in my email, but it works
just as well, although it does require some manual interpretation of the
directive name (to extract the 1, 2, 3, etc). We ended up not going this
route only because we felt it was a bit cleaner to use the data value
portion of the directive, but they are really fundamentally the same
approaches.

Unless I completely misrepresented your form-repopulateion stuff (which is
possible ;-)
