Nope, that's not the way radio buttons work. It sounds like you're
looking for checkboxes, they would behave the closer to the way you
want. The user could select any combination of the checkboxes, the web
app would receive an "x=y" for each box selected.

Thanks Tim,

I guess if I give the checkboxes the same name but different values I'll
achieve what I'm looking for.

There is no ASP script in these but this examples show how to use checkboxes
and multiple selects. Other than scripting language and related, they are
exactly the same:

VBScript version:

J(ava)Script version:

http://kiddanger.com/lab/expjs.asp

HTH...

Thanks for the code. It is very helpful.

Hi Emmett...

You're welcome. BTW... Here is the code for exp2.asp that both of the files
call.

<%@ Language=VBScri pt %>
<% Option Explicit
' called from c:\exp.vbs
dim oArgs, i
oArgs = split(Request.Q ueryString("tas ks"),", ")
for i = 0 to ubound(oArgs)
Response.Write( oArgs(i) & "<br />" & vbCrLf)
next
%>

This, if you're not familiar, shows you how to pass and parse a multi-value
variable rather than with a form that passes one value per variable. Ignore
the comment for called from c:\exp.vbs. This file was first used as a post
target from a local WSH file.

It started here:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=roland+hall+exp.vbs&hl=en&lr=lang_en&selm=uQm4dhfzDHA.1856%40TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl&rnum=2

This started with code from someone else.

Converted from WSH to VBScript/J(ava)Script for the web here:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=roland+hall+exp.vbs&hl=en&lr=lang_en&selm=%23KNPRzP1DHA.1184%40TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl&rnum=1

....which has some other interesting examples of using checkboxes although
granted checkboxes are not the best solution in these examples. It was more
due to the topic of discussion.
