Jon I've never done this, but this is what I have read: -- If the checkbox is unchecked, don't send anything. -- If the checkbox is checked, send the value that is in the html. For example, if the form element is this (tag markers removed): input type=checkbox name=hobby value=fishing you would send hobby=fishing -- If no value is defined in the form, send on as the value. -- Multiple checkboxes can have the same name, so if the checkbox form was like this: input type=checkbox name=hobby value=fishing input type=checkbox name=hobby value=hunting input type=checkbox name=hobby value=shooting and the first two items were checked, you would send this: hobby=fishinghobby=hunting Cheers Dave ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

working a web site from Rev
I want to write a Rev program to make sure that a web site I've written is still functioning correctly, perhaps once an hour, 24/7. The manipulations for a person are pretty simple: 1) go to a fixed URL 2) click a button 3) go to the bottom of the page 4) check a check box 5) click a button 6) verify that the received HTML contains some key phrases. Is it easy to do this in Rev? Any sample stacks you can recommend? :) Jon ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Is it easy to do this in Rev? Any sample stacks you can recommend? Well, that actual button clicking can't be done with Rev, but you can simulate it by passing the parameters with the url string that would normally be sent when you click the button in a ' get url ' call. For example, suppose I had a simple form on a web page for name and email address with a submit button. When the submit button is clicked, it sends that data to the CGI on the server (let's say it's www.123.com/cgi-bin/testcgi). I could simulate the submit button for the person Test with email address test@test.com like this: put urlEncode(Test) into tName put urlEncode(test@test.com) into tEmail get url(http://www.123.com/cgi-bin/testcgi?; tNametEmail) -- now it contains the source of the page that would be displayed after the submit button was pressed Hope this helps...
