How To Check Checkbox When Page Reloads 3

[jiggyg]

Hello List!

I have an issue I could use some expertise on....

I have a page that allows the user to click a checkbox to distinguish if the entry is a valid exception --> if yes, saves a '1' to the database....

Now, when I reload the page, I want to have the checkbox checked if the user had previously checked it, just now sure how to do it.....


Here's my code so far:

<tr>
  <th align="left" ID="HeaderLinks">
    &nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="validException" value="1">Valid Exception</th>
<%
   if request("validException") = "YES" then
     Response.Write "CHECKED"
   else
     Response.Write "NO"
   end if
%>
</tr>

The IF stmt is working correctly -- if it's checked (Or "YES" is passed into the page), it's going into the IF stmt, if it's NOT checked, it's going into the ELSE stmt...

Now, I just need to know how to check the box when the page is reloaded if it's in the IF stmt....

Thanks in advance for your time and help!!

Using your code:

<tr>
  <th align="left" ID="HeaderLinks">
    &nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="validException" value="1"<%
   if request("validException") = "YES" then
     Response.Write " checked=""checked"" "
   end if
%>>Valid Exception</th>
</tr>

<tr>
  <th align="left" ID="HeaderLinks">
    &nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="validException" value="1" [!]<%if request("validException") = "YES" then Response.Write "checked=""checked""" end if%>[/!]>Valid Exception</th>
</tr>

or, if you're using JScript with ASP (like I always do), I'd use a ternary operator:

<tr>
  <th align="left" ID="HeaderLinks">
    &nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="validException" value="1" [!]<%=((request("validException") == "YES") ? 'checked="checked"' : '')%>[/!]>Valid Exception</th>
</tr>

jiggyg, you can award multiple stars in any given thread - you aren't restricted to 1 person. Lee gave the exact same solution and was 2 minutes faster getting it to you. He deserves a star as much as me (if not more than me).

Lee, I threw a star your way just in case jiggyg doesn't come back to extend the favor.

In any case, I'm glad you got it workin
