[ cf-dev ] Cold Fusion/Form awareness

[James Buckingham]

Hi guys,   I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do this.   I'm trying to create a voting system which will be used to record the votes of our site's visitors. The form contained 18 checkboxes and a drop down menu which are passed to a Cold Fusion script and then processed. The only thing is that the visitor is only allowed to select one checkbox or an option from the dropdown (which is controlled through a _javascript_).   What I need to do is run through all 18 of the checkboxes and find out which one was selected (if there was one).   I'd rather not use a long/18 IF statement(s) to do this so I'm wondering if there was an easier way of doing this.   A CFLOOP maybe?   Here's the idea of what I'm trying to do   1)       Find out which checkbox was selected or if it was the select drop down.   2)       Get the value from the select element (Each checkbox is called 'checkbox1', 'checkbox2', 'checkbox3' etc. with the same numerical value).   3)       Run a query on the database to update the record relating to the selection.   Appreciate any help you can give me on this one.   Cheers, James
