Checkboxes not passing variables correctly
I have a group of 10 checkboxes where 3 have to be checked. I have a JS script to validate this. The issue at hand is the values are not being passed completely. If you choose Robert Mckenzie the name is passed Robet Mkenzie, any ideas would be appreciated.

Steve, We want to help, but without seeing the form code it is almost impossible to troubleshoot.

Re: Checkboxes not passing variables correctly
No, there's nothing there that would explain it. I'd like to blame it on
the font tags, but I can't;)

Re: Checkboxes not passing variables correctly
delimiters=crlf You're using crlf as delimitior? No wonder c, r, l f are lost. You probably meant CR LF, but these are not the delimiters used to separate field values, the simple comma is used. So just use Faculty Supervisor: cfloop list=#form.fac# index=f#f#/cfloop or more simply: Faculty Supervisor: #form.fac# -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Is there a list of all possible delimiters value? If I use your suggestion there are no spaces or commas between full names when the information is sent.

What is your desired output? If you just want a straight list with commas between the chosen names, then do as Claude said: Faculty Supervisor: #form.fac# If you need line breaks between the names, then do a loop as Claude said (with a br/ added): cfloop list=#form.fac# index=f #f#br/ /cfloop On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 9:12 AM, Steve LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a list of all possible delimiters value?

Re: Checkboxes not passing variables correctly
Is there a list of all possible delimiters value? A delimeter could be any 'legal' character in a string. The delimeter you use is informed by the string you are given to break up into list items; using different delimiters will break up your 'list' in different ways.
