Dave,
If you name all of the checkboxes using the same name as below
<input type="checkbox" name="mail_option" value="a">Send me mail</input><BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="mail_option" value="b">Send me mail</input><BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="mail_option" value="c">Send me mail</input><BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="mail_option" value="d">Send me mail</input>
The JSP or Servlet that gets called will get all of the parameters as a
array of strings.
To read the data in a JSP or servlet use
String[] mail_option = request.getParameterValues("mail_option");
You'll receive a String array that has the value of each checkbox in a
different string.
Good luck.

Subject: Dynamic Forms
Hi,
We want to be able to retrieve a list of values from a form that
will have different quantities of elements per user. Specifically, we
have a form where each user can update/delete multiple email accounts &
preferences. So something like this:
USER BOB:
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
X Send me mail on event 1
X Send me mail on event 2
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
X Send me mail on event 1
X Send me mail on event 2
The address would be in a textbox and the X's represent checkboxes. The
problem we face is uniquely naming each one of those form elements. We
would like to find a method better than incrementally naming each on of
the elements and then parsing a rather sizeable querystring afterwards
via looping. So, in short, are there any alternatives???
Thanks!
DTS
