I have successfully filled in a form with values from a query, but my 

question is how would I go about showing 'checkboxes' as checked if the 

value from the query is true.



Like I said I'm fine with the text box fields, but this one has me 

stumped.

Hi Rod,

I think you can try this sintax.

Check out if the variable "yourname" is true or not while showing the

checkbox



<input type="checkbox" name="yourname" value="1"<%if yourname=1

then%>CHECKED<%end if%>>



Hope you'll need it

This is rather easy, just add the word checked to your checkbox definition:



<% if something =  true then %>

         <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" ID="checkbox1" NAME="checkbox1" checked>

<% else %>

         <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" ID="checkbox1" NAME="checkbox1">

<% end if %>

P.S. Don't follow my example on context-switching (between ASP en HTML). 

Rather use Response.Write to write out the HTML.

There is an HTML attribte that you must specify to set whether the box is

checked or not



e.g.



<input type="checkbox" checked name="mybox" />



So in your code you could do the following:







' Write the start of the html tag

response.write "<input type=""checkbox"" "



' Check the value in the database

if setRecs("value1") = true then

	' Set as checked

	response.write "checked "

end if



' Write the end of the tag

response.write "name=""mybox"" />"







I hope this helps - let me know if yo still have issues.



  

 

Mark

Rod,



There is an attribute to the checkbox form element that tells the browser to

render it as checked.



<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="vCheck" VALUE="true" checked>



This will display a checked checkbox!
