Hi Melinda,

Basically the way checkboxes work is that they have a value, and if the box
is checked, this value is submitted with the form.  If its not checked, then
a "" is submitted instead.  You can get the value to be 1 instead of "on" by
changing the value in the checkbox tag:

<INPUT Type="checkbox" VALUE="1">

but you'll need to either insert zeros on the server after the form is
submitted or modify your stored proc to accept blanks instead

Subject: [javascript] PLEASE HELP!! - Changing the value of a checkbox


My question revolves around the value of a set of checkboxes on my form.  
I have a form that contains a checkbox for each day of the week and the 
office hours pertient to that row of checkboxes checked.

The stored procedure is set to receive a string consisting of a comma 
delimited value as follows (1,1,1,1,1,0,0,09:00am,5:00pm).

I am trying to convert the value of the checkbox to a "1" or a "0" 
depending on if the box is checked or not and then concatinate the 
REQUEST.FORM for each NAME value of that checkbox.  The value of that 
checkbox is either ON or OFF initially and then when I submit the form I 
want to pass the "1" or "0" value.

When I response write out the variable containing the concatinated value 
I am getting (on,on,on,on,on,,,09:00am,05:00pm).

Will someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?  This is driving me 
nuts.  

Thank you.
