Re: Servlet - Value of a checkbox

[Colin Capriati]

Nilantha,   The checkbox value should be the value of your "book" field, presuming you want a list of all books selected to be submitted to the server. I am guessing that the problem may be that there are no double quotes surrounding the value attribute or your HTML checkbox. If there is a space in the value of the "book" field and you do not enclose it in double quotes it will not work.   Colin ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Lin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 10:38 AM Subject: Re: Servlet - Value of a checkbox Nilantha,   Can you output the rs.getString ("book") value to see if you get the right value?  Is checkbox value should be 'checked' or 'null'? Try this first: out.println ("CheckBox Value="+rs.getString ("book") );   Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Zvika Markfeld [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 7:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Servlet - Value of a checkbox Hi, What does the rs reference stand for? If it is a ResultSet object, than your problem might be that you are trying to read the same value from a ResultSet twice, which, misteriously enough, generates an exception. Use an intermediate variable instead. zm. -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology.

Could I use rs.getSrting to give the value to checkbox. Please help me   out.println ("<tr><td><input type=checkbox name=item" + "value="+rs.getString ("book")+"></td><td>"+rs.getString ("ID")+"</td><td>"+rs.getString ("book")+"</td><td>"+rs.getDouble("price")+"</td></tr>");     Regards,   Nilantha
