Checkbox Question 1

Hi all,

I am working on a database "to-do" list. Basically what I have in mind is that it will list each item with a checkbox next to it, then you check the boxes off as you complete things, and click a button to update all of the checked items at once. What I can't figure out is this: without knowing how many items there will be, how would I go about checking off each item? I guess what I am asking for here is help with the part of the script that changes the status in the database for each checked item. I couldn't figure out a good numbering scheme for each checkbox.

Thanks in advance,

If you are using Perl and CGI.pm, take a look at the docs for a 'checkbox_group'.
The checkbox_group method dynamically builds according to the number of items you give it.

You can get the documentation by doing,
prompt> perldoc CGI.pm<return>
