Checkbox values??

[Cheech]

Hi,

I need to assign 2 values to a checkbox.
What I am trying to do is insert the value of a checkbox into a database where if the box is checked then "Not Applicable" is inserted to the database & if not checked then "No" is inserted.
e.g.

<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;stage1_app&quot; value=&quot;Not Applicable&quot; defaultvalue=&quot;No&quot;>

This kicks up an error. SOOOOOoooooo ayone got any ideas how to do this?? Please.. I dont want to go to Chelsea!!!

Well, you can only have one value for the checkbox -- What I usually do is make the value=1 and then evaluate the value of it on the subsequent page, and then take action.

If you're using ASP, then this is what it would look like on the subsequent page using this method:

<%
if request.form(&quot;stage1_app&quot = &quot;1&quot; then
insertValue = &quot;Not Applicable&quot;
else
insertValue = &quot;No&quot;
end if
%>

Then go ahead and do what you need to do with the new vbScript variable, insertValue.

u can try this

have a hidden field and when a person checks the checkbox then change the value of the checkbox to whatever you want

but you have to use javascript for that

Cheers guys.

I realised that in the end I actualy needed 1 of 3 values to end up in the database so I have ended up using a dropdown instead.

That'll teach me to fully scope a project before I start programming.
