how do you know which chechbox was checked ?

[SUH]

 

Hi,

 

I'm writting Web pages contianing some checkboxes.

 

But I can't verify which checkbox was selected:

 

For example>>

<input type="checkbox" name="male" value="ON">

<input type="checkbox name="female" value="ON">

 

Then

 

A user will check one of checkboxes.

 

In servlet

,

 

req.getParameter("male");

OR

req.getParameter("female");

These are not working. The statements always return "ON".

I want to know which one was checked.
