Hello All,
Here is the situation, I have a bit of html that looks like this (i kinda hope
you're viewing this with html turned off :-/ )
<input type="checkbox" name="per" value="Christy">Christy<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="per" value="Jane">Jane<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="per" value="Judy">Judy<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="per" value="Kelly">Kelly<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="per" value="Michelle">Michelle<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="per" value="Myer">Myer<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="per" value="Nephele">Nephele<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="per" value="Phillip">Phillip<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="per" value="Scott">Scott<br/>
<input id="otherPer" type="checkbox" name="per" value="otherPer"
onclick="handleCheck()">Other
<input id="otherPerName" type="text" name="otherName" value="name">
when the user clicks the otherPer checkbox, they can then type a name into the
otherName text box
later i read the information in like so in order to concatenate their values
into a string...
____________________________
my $newGuy = $query->param('otherName'); #holds what's in otherName
my @people = $query->param('per'); #load the checked values into an array
my $seeList; #string to hold final concatenation
foreach $person(@people){
$seeList .= $person.",";
}
_________________________________
Which almost works except that it wont grab the name out of the otherName
field.
So I change the foreach loop to look like this...
____________________________________
foreach $person(@people){
if($person=="otherPer"){
$seeList .= $newGuy;
}else{
$seeList .= $person.",";
}
}
____________________________________
When i do this, and the Other box is checked with a name in the otherName
field. The otherName gets printed out instead of all the other names
example, say someone checks Jane, Judy and Other with 'Bob' in the otherName
box
the first bit of code would yield
Jane,Judy,otherPer
the second bit of code yields
BobBobBob
If the Other box is not checked, NOTHING will get printed with the second
bit...
my question is why doesnt the second bit of code work??
Thanks
J
