Thanks Mark for the suggestion.
As I am using it, I am faced with another problem.
Now my form looks like:
<input type="checkbox" name="PremGrading"
value="GPG040602155857107" > MLP PREMIUM PLUS - Ontario
<input type="hidden" name="GPG040602155857107" value="MLP
PREMIUM PLUS - Ontario" ><BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="PremGrading"
value="MYB040602155857123" > MLP Premium PLUS rev.2003 - mlp base
<input type="hidden" name="MYB040602155857123" value="MLP
Premium PLUS rev.2003 - mlp base" ><BR>
After the form is submitted, I can verify the hidden fields are in
the request.form collection by going through all the elements of it.
I can also find the descriptions if I hard code the names of the
hidden fields in the request.form() statement.
But I am having trouble finding descriptions of the checked items
dynamically. Only the first description is displayed, all others are
empty. There is no error raised. This is what I am doing in
the 'action' page after the form is submitted:
PremGradingIdList = trim(request.form("PremGrading")) 'csv string
PremGradingIdArray = split( PremGradingIdList, ",") 'array
For i = 0 to ubound( PremGradingIdArray )
response.write PremGradingIdArray(i) & "<BR>"
response.write request.form(PremGradingIdArray(i)) & "<BR>"
next
Am I doing something wrong? Any help will be highly appreciated.
