Strange Problem..

Hi, i've this really strange problem here. Hope u all can help me out. I've attached my coding. Ok, i'll highlight the problem here.
i declare a variable (var del) to capture the values of the selected checkboxes. So it's => del = document.Rep.elements[i].value, right? And it's suppose to capture the value of a certain checkbox. But the weird thing is: it always capture the value "on" now!! ARRGHH!! Why is this so?? Please tell me. And it works previously. That's why i'm very vex now!!

the value of the checkbox doesn't change whether it is checked or unchecked. what you want is to see which checbox is checked.

so it's:

if (document.Rep.elements[i].checked){
//do something
}

of course you need to check if it's a checkbox, so you need to add:

if (document.Rep.elements[i].type=="checkbox" && document.Rep.elements[i].checked){
//do something
}

Hi Glenn, yes i did something similar to yours. And it works previously but now, i dunno y it keeps giving me this value "on" no matter what value i select. :mad: Coz i need to pass the values of the selected checkboxes to another JSP page to execute some other things...

as i said, the value of the checkbox DOESN'T change whether it is checked or unchecked.

when a checkbox is checked, its value is submitted to the server, when it is not checked, it will NOT be submitted to the server

so if you do a request.getParameter("nameOfCheckbox") and this checkbox is not checked, it will return null, if it is checked, it will return the value of the checkbox.

hope u understand.

OOps... i found out the bug. :o Actually, it's juz bcos of VALIGN = 'CENTER' as i'm using out.println("<INPUT TYPE = 'checkbox'....STYLE = 'VALIGN: 'CENTER'....'"); So, it's bcos of ' '!! ARGGH!! So now, the codes work completely fine again. Thanks thanks!!
