Differentiating check boxes and radio buttons

DKL01 · Feb 6, 2001

Hi,

I have ASP file with checkboxes and a Save button. When I click on save button I am checking whether one of the checkboxes is selected using

var objInput = document.all.tags("input&quot

;
for(ix=0;ix<objInput.length;ix++) {
if (objInput(ix).checked) {
bCheckFound = true;
intCount++;

Now I added 2 option buttons( radio buttons ) to the same screen. Is there any way ( other than having them in two different forms ) I can change the above code so that it checks only check boxes .

Thanks

They should be named differnetly.. Radio buttons are mutually exclusive, so you should have a form element name for the radio buttons and one for the check boxes.. Check for the check boxes by their name.. I'm not a java scripter, so your code doesn't help me much, but you should have something like

<input type =checkbox name = chkMyCheck>

The only thing you check is the name of the check box.. That's how it would be done server side anyway..

Hi.

You have to named the check boxes like radios. The
document.all["YOURELEM"] will give back a collection of your elements. See the following script:

<html>
<Script Language="JavaScript">
function ff()
{
var elements=document.all["myElem"];
var num=document.all["myElem"].length;
for(i=0;i<num;i++){
alert(elements[ i ].value);
}
}
</Script>
<body>
<input type=text name="myElem">
<input type=text name="myElem">
<input type=text name="myElem">
<input type=text name="myElem">
<input type="button" value="kkk" onclick="ff()">
</body>
</html>
