One-Page Checkout [Support Thread]

[wolfderby]

Is there a (not complicated) way to switch the default shipping alternative selected by OPC either from the most expensive to the least expensive, or (better yet) default to whichever option the customer selected on the shopping cart page?

In the shopping cart the alternative estimates are presented from most to least expensive, but the least expensive is auto-selected as default for the customer. They can, of course, select a more expensive option.

But on the OPC page, the most expensive option is selected as default, regardless of the option the customer selected on the shopping cart page. The customer can change the option on the checkout page and the total cost will be auto adjusted, but my concern is that a customer will select choice A on the cart page, then gloss over it (Oh I already did that I don't need to pay attention to it) on the checkout page.

Sample from shopping cart page (fake customer):


Sample from OPC page:

Is there any reason why I shouldn't trigger a "default" $checked radio button (for shipping or payment) by putting this:

<script>
document.getElementById('ship-storepickup-storepickup0').checked = true;
</script>

...at the end of my includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_checkout_one_default.php file?
