Nancy:
If you only want to select one color, why not use radio buttons instead?
You are right in leaving all the names the same - then just do:
String colorChoosen = request.getParameter("color");
and that will give you the color that was selected.

Subject: Reading checkboxes's values
Hi all!
I'm trying to read the value(s) of a checkbox into my JSP file.
I don't know if I'm right but I assign the same name to all the possible
values of the item.
For example:
Select one color:<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="blue> Blue<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="red"> Red<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="white"> White<br>
So I don't know how to get all the values checked in the JSP file which
will recieve this information.
I tried something like this:
String[] colorChoosen = request.getParameter("color");
Or do I have to change the name of the input tag (checkbox) for each
selection to get the value as above?
Please, help me..
Thanks and Regards,
Nancy.
