    checking a checkbox

    Hi

    Is it possible to preset the values of form elements with php - so that when
    the client gets the page certain boxes are checked or completed - on the
    fly - based on their HTML id.

    Javascript has a way of doing this - but i need the functionality of PHP
    too - so if i can move the whole thing over to php it owuld be better .

    javascript example -

    document.forms['form1'].elements['radiobuttonno'].checked = true;


    many thanks

    AL

      Add a checked="checke d" attribute when you print out the checkbox.

      <input type="checkbox" name="whatever" value="somethin g" checked="checke d">

          Unfortunately that wont work - as i have to loop through mysql values
          combined with REquested variables in the querystring. I need to set a
          varying number of form elements values on the fly

              So? If you're not printing out the form elements from PHP, how exactly are
              they getting to the browser? If you're printing them, you can add attributes
              when you print them.
