Why not get rid of the hidden field and assign the record id as the value of the checkboxes. When you submit the form (or serialize it) only the checked items will be passed to the server.
For example: <input name="ApprovedSubscribers" value="123" type="checkbox" checked="checked"/> Joe Cool <input name="ApprovedSubscribers" value="456" type="checkbox" /> Fred Flintstone <input name="ApprovedSubscribers" value="789" type="checkbox" checked="checked" /> Barney Rubble Becomes ApprovedSubscribers="123, 789" when submitted. You can then observe the form for changes and submit via ajax with a normal form submit for graceful degradation.

From: prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com [mailto:prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Phil Petree Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 10:39 AM To: prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Tactical Advice: Many rows, one checkbox per row Hey All, My need is to create a easy approval process for what could be a handful of "subscribers" up to 1000's of "subscribers". The idea thus far is to create a table that has (and needs) only a few columns of information: RecordID (hidden) | Approved [checkbox] | Subscriber Name (read_only text) | Subscriber City/State (read_only text) <refrain ad nausem 'x' times> What I want to do is to allow the user to CHECK/UNCHECK the check box and that event will call an ajax function that will submit the RecordID and Approved box[checked/unchecked] I don't want to submit ALL rows, only the row that was just clicked. I'm pretty sure the FormObserver is the wrong way to go I'm pretty sure the $('approved').observe('change', xxx); isn't right either as that could create 1000's of observers I could do an onchange event for each checkbox... but if I do that, how do I serialize two fields of data? Advice please.... Pete -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
