Multiple groups of check boxes

jonohara · Apr 5, 2004

Hi

I've a contact page/form which generates THREE groups of check boxes.

Each check box has a unique 'value' and is 'named' one of the three group names (products, services, applications).

I'm using cdonts to email the results. I can only manage to extract the check box values from the first group of checkboxes (products) but not the others, even though my code is the same for all.

A sample of the code is bellow. I'm sure that the names are ok.

Code:

strbody = strbody &  "<td width=""190"">Products</td>"
strbody = strbody &  "<td width=""71%"">" & request.form("products") & "</td>"

strbody = strbody & "</td>"
strbody = strbody &  "</tr>"
strbody = strbody & "<tr>"
strbody = strbody &  "<td width=""190"">Industry Areas</td>"
strbody = strbody &  "<td width=""71%"">" & request.form("applications") & "</td>"

strbody = strbody & "</td>"

Any ideas?

Thanks

Suggest replacing the quotes surrounding parameter values with apostrophes, eg :

Code:

strbody = strbody & "</td>"
strbody = strbody &  "</tr>"
strbody = strbody & "<tr>"
strbody = strbody &  "<td width='190'>Industry Areas</td>"
strbody = strbody &  "<td width='71%'>" & request.form("applications") & "</td>"

Other than that, I'd need to see more of your source code to comment further.

As you will see the check box values are generated from a db.

Code:

        <% 
While ((Repeat1__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT Recordset1.EOF)) 
%>
                <tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> 
                  <td width="95%" valign="top" class="textonwhite"><%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("menulabel2").Value)%></td>
                  <td width="5%"><input type="checkbox" name="Products" value="<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("menulabel2").Value)%>"></td> 
                </tr>
                <% 
  Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
  Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
  Recordset1.MoveNext()
Wend
%>
              </table></td>
            <td valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0">
                <tr> 
                  <td width="95%" class="titleonwhite">Industry Areas</td>
                  <td width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
                </tr>
                <% 
While ((Repeat2__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT Recordset2.EOF)) 
%>
                <tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> 
                  <td width="95%" valign="top" class="textonwhite"><%=(Recordset2.Fields.Item("menulabel2").Value)%></td>
                  <td width="5%"> 
                    <input type="checkbox" name="industry" value="<%=(Recordset2.Fields.Item("menulabel2").Value)%>"></td> 
                </tr>
                <% 
  Repeat2__index=Repeat2__index+1
  Repeat2__numRows=Repeat2__numRows-1

Your 2nd set of checkboxes has the name "industries" whereas you are calling Request.Form("applications") in your first post.

Sorry, The actual code uses 'industry' in both, I changed it it my first post to make it clearer (obviously failed there then!).

Thanks

FesterSXS · Apr 5, 2004

Please could you post the HTML code (not the ASP) of the FORM page. Do a View >> Source and post the relevant bits with all the <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX"...> bits.

and your code in contact3.asp refers to Request.Form("Products"), Request.Form("industry") and Request.Form("Processes")???

Have you double-checked the spelling of these in both pages?

I've just tested it again and it seems to work fine, I can not replicate the problem anyway.

Thanks for all your time.
