Let's say I have a JavaBean that remembers a user's checkbox selection: <input type="checkbox" name="isMale" value="true" <%=bean.isMale () ? "checked" : ""%>> i.e. when the page is reloaded the checkbox is correctly shown selected or not. Here's my attempt at setting this value to true or false: <jsp:setProperty name="bean" property="isMalet" value="<%=request.getParameter (\"isMale\") != null%>" /> Remember that a user may want to change from true to false or visa versa. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? Checkboxes have the obvious problem of not passing the field name in the request if unselected. If I used the above method, then I'd have to beware of any other JSP pages that get redirected to this page. In the meantime, I'll use 2 radio buttons that are have the values true or false, to forcibly pass a value! <jsp:setProperty name="bean" property="*" /> <input type=radio name="isMale" value="true" <%=search.isMale () ? "checked" : ""%>>Yes <input type=radio name="isMale" value="false" <%=search.isMale () ? "" : "checked"%>>No Kane Marshall =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
