Simple question about check boxes...

[ibiubu]

I am trying to include a simple check box on one of my forms. Basically I want it to return a value of 1 if it is checked, and no value, or a value of 0 if it is not checked. The CDML reference guide had an example...

<input type="checkbox" name="Country" value="F1">France

But I dont quite get how to change it to fit my needs. I assume in the example above that if the box is checked then F1 is input into the FM field called "Country."

So If I want a 1 to appear in my field if it is checked would it be something like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="FieldName" value="1">0

You can have a second Checkbox with the value of 0. For example:

<input type="checkbox" name="FieldName" value="1">Yes

<input type="checkbox" name="FieldName" value="0">No

Note that the Fieldname is the same for both Checkboxes.

Alternatively, you can use some Javascript to check and "clear" the value before the form is submitted to FM.

All the best.

OUCH! You must be kidding. There is no way of using a simple check box or a radio box, that when checked, and then when submit is selected in the form, will send a 1 to that field in FM?

Larry,

A single box will do that, however unchecking the box will not clear the value. Try this:

<input type="hidden" name="MyField" value="">

<input type="checkbox" name="MyField" value="1">0

A couple of god threads exist on this subject. I will do a search to familarise myself on what so of the outcomes where.

All the best.
