CheckBoxList

[mchoudhury]

Hi Experts
I have a checkboxlist, values are retrived from the database. There are 6 checkboxes. If a user checks a checkbox how would i write the script to say this checkbox was selecetd
i.e. if two checkbox are selected how would i write
a.checked
b.checked

using the checkboxlist attributes

hope someone could help

thanks

to process the form server-side remember that a checked checkbox is "on"

for each item in request.fields
  if request(item) = "on" then
    response.write "<br>" & item & " is checked"
  end if
next

Umm, but that would only work if i created my checkboxes like so:

<input type="checkbox" name="whatever" value="on">

Just thought I would point that out. If you accidentally make your checkbox values = "yes" then the above code wouldn't do much for ya

Tarwn - I thought that checkboxes always read as "on" regardless of the value you set for them - am I wrong?

I'm not using checkbox attribute but checkboxlist attribute. anyway found a solution to overcome my problem:

if checkboxlistname.Items(0).Selected = True then
do this
End if
