Reading data from Checkboxes

[cyberprof]

Using ASP I've developed a page that reads data from a database and lists the results in a table. The results are a list of tasks that I want to be able to select with a checkbox. So each line in the table has a check box and then the task details.

The list is dynamic and the list size can change. When I submit the form to the next page, is there a command I can use that knows exactly how many checkboxes are in the list, along with the checkbox name and value (CHECKED OR UNCHECKED)

Cheers

J

This will show you all the items that get submitted from your form.
<%
For Each item in Request.Form
Response.Write item & " : " & Request.Form(item) & "<BR>"
Next
%>

Checkboxes only pass their value when they are checked. The value they pass is the one you specify in the tag, so you might be better off naming them all the same and assigning them values based on the task sitting next to them on the screen. This would then be passed as a comma-delimited string of all the checked task values.
