Checkbox values in arrays

[daph]

Hi,

Is there a way to pass some kind of null value when a checkbox isn't checked? The reason why I'm asking is because I have a list of checkboxes that will be saved in an array in PLSQL. If there are three checkboxes and the second one hasn't been checked, I still need the values to be in the right order in the array.

Ex: checkbox1 in array[1]
checkbox2 in array[2]
checkbox3 in array[3]

Right now, if checkbox 2 isn't checked I get
checkbox1 in array[1]
checkbox3 in array[2]

I hope you guys understand what I mean.

Thanks for your help!

I don't think there's any way to get checkboxes to return a value if they are unchecked - the browser will only return one if they are checked.

Am I right in thinking that you've given all your checkboxes the same name, and are getting their values back in an owa_util.ident_arr? Then you want to check if the second one's checked by checking if checkboxes[2]='Y'.

You can't do it that way. What you need to do is give each checkbox a different value then loop through the array searching for that value. If you wanted to, you could begin by looping through and populating a second array laid out as you originally wanted.

Hopefully that gives you some idea of which way to go, if not, post a little more details of what you're doing and I'll have another go. -- Chris Hunt
