Hi Charlie, Many thanks for that response...
I think we're both on the same train of thought here (with the nested loops). The main difference I think is determining if the checkbox had been rendered on each pass through the outer loop. The velocimacro I just submitted is the first I've written so it's possible it could be tighter/shorter. Can you break out of a velicity foreach loop? Could get rid of the 'rendered' boolean then. Thanks again for your input! Robin -----Original Message----- From: Charles N. Harvey III [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 March 2005 14:48 To: Velocity Users List Subject: Re: Struts and Velocity Forms What is being filled into the StrutsForm? Is it something like: public class MyForm { private String[] interestOptions; public String[] getInterestOptions(){ return this.interestOptions; } public void setInterestOptions( String[] sValue ){ this.interestOptions = sValue; } } And in your Action class you are making sure that interestOptions are filled in? If so, you are actually blowing out the user's previous selections by setting the array again. You've got to have a different variable for the selectedInterests and the interestOptions. And then you have to have a double #foreach loop looping through both arrays (unless there is some way to get specific array values by index, which I think there is but am not sure how to do it). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #set ( $index = 0 ) #set ( $interestOptions = ["snowboarding", "skiing", "mountain biking"] ) #foreach( $interest in $interestOptions ) #foreach( $selection in $selectedInterests ) <input type="checkbox" name="interestsDisplay" value="$interest" #if( $selection == $interest ) selected #end>$interest</input> #end #set ( $index = $index + 1 ) #end --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Or, if there is a way to get array values: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #set ( $index = 0 ) #set ( $interestOptions = ["snowboarding", "skiing", "mountain biking"] ) #foreach( $interest in $interestOptions ) <input type="checkbox" name="interestsDisplay" value="$interest" #if( $selectedInterest.get($index) == $interest ) selected #end>$interest</input> #set ( $index = $index + 1 ) #end --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope some of that helps.
