Is it possible to set default value on an auto-calculating field?

Hi Wizards, New to CSS. I'm fiddling around with a sheet and what I'd like to do is set an input field (type="number") to a default value. That's easy enough to do, but I want that default value to change depending on if a checkbox is checked or not. Also, I still want the user to be able to modify the value for other adjustments that may happen in their game, so I don't think it can be set disabled="true". This is basically an error range on a skill and that error range changes if the character is trained (has ranks) in the skill or not. Possible?

Does the player need to be able to access the attribute in a macro under normal circumstances?

No, we don't have any such macro's in my game. The intention on my part is to reduce the amount of time needed for data entry when creating a new character.

In that case, you could try using the checkbox to show/hide two different number inputs with different defaults. <input type="checkbox" name="attr_toggle-check" value="1" /> <input type="number" name="attr_field-1" value="5" min="1" max="10" /> <input type="number" name="attr_field-2" value="15" min="10" max="20" /> input[name=attr_toggle-check]:checked ~ input[name=attr_field-1], input[name=attr_toggle-check]:not(:checked) ~ input[name=attr_field-2] { display: none; } input[name=attr_toggle-check]:not(:checked) ~ input[name=attr_field-1], input[name=attr_toggle-check]:checked ~ input[name=attr_field-2] { display: inline; } This would show field-1 when the checkbox is not checked, and show field-2 when the checkbox is checked. I believe one or more of the oWoD sheets does something similar to swap out roll buttons.

Brian, Many thanks for that input! If I put the checkbox element into the same <td> along with the two attribute fields, that works when (un)checking the box. However, the actual checkbox I want to use is in a different <td> of a table row so they aren't siblings. I've looked through different selection operators and tried a few things but I've been unable to hit on a working strategy. The checkbox is the 0th td of the table row and the two number input fields are in the 7th if that helps/matters. <tbody> <tr> <td> <!--input name="attr_acrobatics_origin" value="0" type="checkbox"/--> <input type="checkbox" name="attr_acro_toggle-check" value="1" class="sheet-origin"/> </td> <td>Acrobatics</td> <td> <input name="attr_acrobatics_bonus" value="@{acrobatics_ranks}+ @{acrobatics_attr_mod}+ @{acrobatics_misc_mod}+ @{acrobatics_temp_mod}" disabled="disabled" type="number"/> </td> <td> <input name="attr_acrobatics_ranks" value="0" type="number"/> </td> <td> <input name="attr_acrobatics_attr_mod" value="@{DEX_mod}" disabled="disabled" type="number"/> </td> <td> <input name="attr_acrobatics_misc_mod" value="0" type="number"/> </td> <td> <input name="attr_acrobatics_temp_mod" value="0" type="number"/> </td> <td> <input type="number" name="attr_acrobatics_error" value="1" min="0" max="20"/> <input type="number" name="attr_acrobatics_error_untrained" value="3" min="3" max="20"/> </td> <td> <input name="attr_acrobatics_threat" value="20" type="number"/> </td> <td> <button type="roll" value="/roll 1d20 + [[@{acrobatics_bonus}]] Acrobatics Check for @{character_name}" name="roll_acrobatics"/> </td> <td> <button type="roll" value="/gmroll 1d20 + [[@{acrobatics_bonus}]] Acrobatics Check for @{character_name}" name="roll_acrobatics_gm"/> </td> </tr>

With only CSS, siblings (or newphews) are your only option. However, you could potentially make the elements siblings in the DOM and use positioning (relative or absolute) to move the checkbox where you want it.

Ah, well so much for the easy path. Cheers Brian, at least I'm armed with the right information rather than flailing at it uselessly .... :-P Oh, by the way -- what kind of tags/keywords did you use to format your xml/css so that it came out looking nicely indented rather than hard to read like mine?
