Pre-check checkboxes via Post

[upplepop]

This is a pretty simple request, but I'm new to Javascript so thanks upfront for your patience.

I'm trying to pre-populate some check boxes based on values passed to a JSP page through either a POST or GET call.

So if my post string is:

http://www.example.com/form.jsp?animal=dog&color=blue

It would pre-check the "dog" and "blue" answer values my form.jsp page:

My favorite animal is:<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="animal" value="dog" />Dog<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="animal" value="cat" />Cat<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="animal" value="horse" />Horse<br />

My favorite color is:<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="blue" />Blue<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="red" />Red<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="green" />Green<br />

Obviously, my real-world application is more complicated than this; but I can figure it out based on the answer to this example.

JSP while somewhat similar to Javascript is not Javascript. As such the methods to do this in JSP would be different.

You might be better served to ask this in the actual forum695.
