They all have the same NAME each checkbox needs a diff name to be pass the value in the postarg
if you want mutually exclusive selection (only one in a group) use the TYPE=RADIO and keep the same NAME Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized WiTango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WiTangoGoodies.htm latest beta downloads @ http://www.witango.ws -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Nicholas Froome Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 3:16 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: Witango-Talk: embarrassingly simple question re checkboxes in forms Okay - for the first time I'm using checkboxes in a form. The problem is that - however many boxes are checked - only one value is inserted in to the Filemaker database Any bright ideas? I'm just inserting the form result eg <@ARG 01often> into a text field in a Filemaker 4 database. The code looks a bit like this <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="<@CGI><@APPFILE>?page=insert&<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1"> <!------------- snip --------------> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> 1.</font></td> <td colspan="7" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">How often do you purchase die-cast models in a year?</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <input type="radio" name="01often" value="monthly"> </td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Monthly</font></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <input type="radio" name="01often" value="quarterly"> </td> <td colspan="3" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Quarterly</font> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <input type="radio" name="01often" value="twice_year"> </td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Twice a year</font></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <input type="radio" name="01often" value="once_year"> </td> <td colspan="3" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Once a year</font></td> </tr> <!------------- snip --------------> </FORM> ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
