CheckBoxes with same name 1

[dellyjm]

How do you handle checkboxes with the same name.

For example.

1. Delton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)
2. DASton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)
3. DSAFlton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)
4. Pelton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)
5. Telton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)

How do I know which one was clicked when it's submitted thru a form. A value will be passed only when the user checks the box. How do I solve that?

Delton.

Hi,

A checkbox has a name and a value! When you check several checkboxes you will have a name with an "array" of values. With this values you know what were the choices checked!!

Yes, I know but the choices that aren't checked have no value. Lemme give you an example.

1. Delton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)
2. DASton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)
3. DSAFlton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)
4. Pelton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)
5. Telton Phillips Swimmer (Checkbox here)

If all those were checked then it'd return whatever I put right? what if number 3 and number 5 weren't checked. How would I know which one was?

Delton.

Hi dellyjm,

you can use javascript and store the list of checked boxID to a hidden field, If you wanna see an example, let me know.

hope this helps, Chiu Chan

Hi again,

Suppose the checkbox name is "chkbox" and:
Delton Phillips Swimmer has value 1,
DASton Phillips Swimmer has value 2,
DSAFlton Phillips Swimmer has value 3,
Pelton Phillips Swimmer has value 4,
Telton Phillips Swimmer has value 5.
If all were checked you'll have chkbox = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
If you only have:
Delton Phillips Swimmer,
DASton Phillips Swimmer,
Pelton Phillips Swimmer
checked you'll have chkbox = {1, 2, 4}. When you made the form you know that 1 stands for Delton Phillips Swimmer, etc, etc!

Can't you assign the Name of the Swimmer as the value of the check box?? QUOTE OF THE DAY
