Submitting checkboxes

[jaryr]

I wonder if there is a way to submit all checkboxes (names and values)
no mater if they are off or on (checked / unchecked). Anybody would know
some scripts or tricks to get this working.

Thanks,
John R.

Re: Submitting checkboxes

If they are not checked, they don't get submitted.

There are no tips and tricks to get them "working" since they aren't broken.

What is it you are trying to do?

Re: Submitting checkboxes

No, the checkbox, by design, will only pass data when it's checked. One
idea is to use a hidden input that contains your checkbox names, and then
you can loop through those names to determine if the checkbox was checked or
not.

Example:

<form method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="chk1" value="somethin g">
<input type="checkbox" name="chk2" value="somethin g">
<input type="checkbox" name="chk3" value="somethin g">
<input type="hidden" name="checkboxN ames" value="chk1,chk 2,chk3">
<input type="submit">

<%
Dim aNames, i
aNames = Split(Request.F orm("checkboxNa mes"), ",")
For i = 0 To UBound(aNames)
Response.Write "<br>"
Response.Write "The checkbox named " & aNames(i) & " was checked: " &
CBool(Request.F orm(aNames(i)) <> "")
Next
%>

Thank you very much Ray, I was hoping for soluton other
than using hidden input. Looks like I have no choice.

Thanks again,

Re: Submitting checkboxes

No, there are other choices. It really depends on what you're doing.
