Live chat department dropdown: wanting to change to radio

[Dania]

departmentstatuscombo

I'm trying to change the live chat department dropdown menu to radio buttons, but when I successfully changed the look of the departments, when submitting, I get an OFFLINE STAFF message when I have verified that I am connected.

So I reverted to the original drop down and look at that I was able to start a chat.

So what I would appreciate is the code for departmentstatuscombo in the template area.

My original:;

<select name="departmentid" class="departmentselect">
<{foreach key=key value=item from=$onlinedepartments}>
<option value='<{$item[departmentid]}>' style='background:#D5FFD5;color:#333333'><{$item[title]}> - <{$language[online]}></option>
<{/foreach}>
<{foreach key=key value=item from=$offlinedepartments}>
<option value='<{$item[departmentid]}>' style='background:#EDEDED;color:#666666'><{$item[title]}> - <{$language[offline]}></option>
<{/foreach}>
</select>

If anyone can modify it to radio buttons, it would be very appreciated.
Thanks!!!
