    Multiple values from checkboxes

    Hello all

    I am very new to asp coding and i have a problem which i need help on.

    Here is the code i've written so far.

    Code:
    <body>
<%
year1 = request.form("2007")
year2 = request.form("2008")
year3 = request.form("2009")
year4 = request.form("2010")

	If year1 = "" AND year2 = "" AND year3 = "" AND year4 = "" then
		endresult = "NO RESULT"
	End If
	If year1 = "2007" AND year2 = "" AND year3 = "" AND year4 = "" then
		endresult = "2007"
	End If
	If year1 = "" AND year2 = "2008" AND year3 = "" AND year4 = "" then
		endresult = "2008"
	End If
	If year1 = "" AND year2 = "" AND year3 = "2009" AND year4 = "" then
		endresult = "2009"
	End If
	If year1 = "" AND year2 = "" AND year3 = "" AND year4 = "2010" then
		endresult = "2010"
	End If

Response.write endresult
%>
<form method="POST" action="checkbox.asp">
	<p>
	<input type="checkbox" name="2007" value="2007">2007 
	<input type="checkbox" name="2008" value="2008">2008 
	<input type="checkbox" name="2009" value="2009">2009 
	<input type="checkbox" name="2010" value="2010">2010&nbsp; 
	<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
</body>
    What i'm trying to do is when the user ticks the box(s) the value goes into endresult but with a twist!!

    If i do a single tick then endresult would = that value.

    But if i do multiple ticks then i want to find the lowest value then inclued a " - " and find the highest value i.e 2007 - 2009, 2007 - 2010 and so on.

    I've been able to work out single ticks which i have done here. But when if comes to finding a value morethan 1 it becomes a bit more complicated for me at a beginners level.

    I do hope some will be able to help me with this.

    Thanks in advance.

      I've managed to work this problem out. Here is the code and it might help another newbie like me!!!

      Code:
      <body>
<%
yearselected = request.form("year")

If (Len(yearselected)) >= 10 then
Response.write (Left(yearselected,4)) & " - " & (Right(yearselected,4))
Else
Response.write yearselected
End If

%>
<form method="POST" action="checkboxnew.asp">
	<p>
	<input type="checkbox" name="year" value="2007">2007 
	<input type="checkbox" name="year" value="2008">2008 
	<input type="checkbox" name="year" value="2009">2009 
	<input type="checkbox" name="year" value="2010">2010&nbsp; 
	<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
</body>

          1. I do not recommend using numbers as a name of form's items. In your case you they have names as "2007". Instead of <input type="checkbox" name="2007" value="2007"> you may use something like <input type="checkbox" name="a2007" value="2007">

          2. Try this code, I I get your what you want:


          <%
          HighestValue = ""
          LovestValue = ""

          For intCount = 2007 to 2010
          If LovestValue = "" then LovestValue = request.form(cS tr(intCount))
          next

          For intCount = 2010 to 2007 step -1
          If HighestValue = "" then HighestValue = request.form(cS tr(intCount))
          next

          if HighestValue = LovestValue then
          endresult = HighestValue
          else
          endresult = LovestValue & " - " & HighestValue
          end if

          response.write( endresult)
          %>
