I don't have a direct solution to our problem but why not submit the
checkbox form, targeted to the frame that's supposed to display the total?
An action can count the check boxes and display the total page without
having to refresh the form every time. The form can also use a JavaScript
timer to wait 3 or 4 seconds after a box is checked before refreshing the
price; every time a box is (un)checked, the timer is reset to prevent
multiple refreshes to the price frame.

Also, http://www.alienware.com/main/configurator_pages/custom.asp has a
pricing system that doesn't use frames.

Subject: multibox always checked


Hi folks,

after reading a million postings on the subject, I still have a question.

When a checkbox is selected, I want to count the selected object in a
different bean.
The total amount should be displayed immediatly in another frame so I have
to submit my form every time a checkbox is selected or deselected ( I would
be glad to hear of a better solution ).
My form revalidates correctly so that only checked multiboxes are truely
checked - with one exception:
The first of my checkboxes is always checked.

Does anybody have a clue to this phenomenon ?
Thanx in advance.

Marion
