Also 

There is automatically a form field created by cf called form.fieldnames
Which is list of all submmited fields,

You could loop through this list copying all fields which begin with the

Prefix "business_types" to another list. You could then decide to take
the portion of the name minus the prefix and save it to a list called
selected business types.

Hi,

I have a form page that creates a list of checkboxes that have been
populated by a loop.  Like this:

<cfloop query="get_bus_type">
        <tr>
                <td class="tablefeature"> #bus_type#</td>
                        <td width="80" align="center"
class="tablefeature"><input type="checkbox"
name="business_types#get_bus_type.currentRow#" value="#bus_type#" ></td>
        </tr>
</cfloop>

Each checkbox name has to have its own name as I am using a JavaScript
function to check and uncheck all of them at the same time.  So they
need to
be individually check by the JS function to see if they are checked or
not.
Here is my JS function:

<script language="JavaScript">
    <!-- Begin
    function checkAll() {
      for (var j = 1; j <= 17; j++) {
        box = eval("document.BusinessType.business_types" + j); {
        if (box.checked == false) {
            box.checked = true;
        } else if(box.checked == true){
            box.checked = false;
          }
        }
      }
    //  End -->
  </script>

In my action page I want to set all the passed/checked checkboxes as one
single session variable so it can be used later on in another page. 

My question is how can I create this session variable from this dynamic
list
of form variables?

Stephen
