Nancy, You could use the getParameterValues() method, here is the javadoc description:
public java.lang.String[] getParameterValues(java.lang.String name) Returns an array of String objects containing all of the values the given request parameter has, or null if the parameter does not exist. If the parameter has a single value, the array has a length of 1. Parameters: name - a String containing the name of the parameter whose value is requested Returns: an array of String objects containing the parameter's values See Also: getParameter(java.lang.String) Regards, Enrique -----Original Message----- From: Nancy Crisostomo Martinez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 8:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
