Re: how do you know which chechbox was checked ?

According to my reference you should use something like:

<input type="checkbox" name="sex" value="male">Male<P>

<input type="checkbox" name="sex" value="female">Female<P>

 

Then when you call req.getParameter("sex"), you'll get either male or female.

Subject: how do you know which chechbox was checked ?

 

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.
