How to write value of checked list in textbox

gilgalbiblewheel · August 8th, 2005, 07:36 PM

I have a list of checkboxes that when I check I want it to be written in the textbox. I need a space in between the writing of each checkbox checked.

Code:

   For Each Word In ArrayTemp
   Response.Write "<input type=""checkbox"" value=""" & Trim(ArrayTemp(i)) & """ name=""Keywordh"">" & word & "</br>"
i=i+1
  next
  Response.Write "</br>"

%>
</td>
<%
  rs.MoveNext
loop%></br>
<input size="10" name="Keywordh" value="<%=Request("Keywordh")%>"></br>
<input type="submit" value=" Search " size="100" title="Search everything selected">
</form>

the only way i know of to do this is to use the JavaScript OnChance event handler
i think it would look something like this

<Script Language="Javascript">
Update{
<%
For i = LBound(ArrayTemp) TO UBound(ArrayTemp)
    if Request("chkBox" & i).checked
        String = String & Request("chkBox" & i)
        txtBox.value = String
    end if

%>
}
</Script>

<%
   Dim Word
   Dim String
   For Each Word In ArrayTemp
   Word = Trim(ArrayTemp(i))
%>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkBox<% & i & %>" value="<% & Word & %>" OnChange="Javascript:Update()">
<% & Word & %></br><%
i=i+1
  next
  Response.Write "</br></td>"
  rs.MoveNext
  loop
%>

</br>
<input size="10" name="txtBox" value=""></br>
<input type="submit" value="Search" size="100" title="Search everything selected">
</form>

i am only just learning asp and javascript but i have been programming for a long time. i know there are probabily errors in this code because i havn't adjusted to the syntax yet.
the main errors are gonna be,

name="chkBox<% & i & %>" Request("chkBox" & i).checked
i dont know how you check a checkbox to see if its checked

Request("chkBox" & i)
i'm not sure if this will work for the names of the checkboxes and getting the info back

other than that i think this should work

I have this so far:

Code:

<script language='javascript'>
 function addCheck() {
 document.getElementById('KeywordhText').value = '';
   for (var i = 0; i < document.getElementById('Keywordh').length;i++) {
     if (document.yourForm.Keywordh[i].checked == true) {
         document.getElementById('KeywordhText').value = document.getElementById('KeywordhText').value + document.yourForm.Keywordh[i].value + ' ';
     }
   }
 }
 </script>
 
 <%
    For Each Word In ArrayTemp
    Response.Write "<input type=""checkbox"" value=""" & Trim(ArrayTemp(i)) & """ name=""Keywordh"" onChange=""javascript:addCheck();"">" & word & "</br>"
 i=i+1
   next
   Response.Write "</br>"
 
 %>
 </td>
 <%
   rs.MoveNext
 loop%></br>
<%
Response.Write("<textarea name='""KeywordhText""' rows='3' cols='64'>")
response.write("</textarea></br>")
%>
<%' <input size="10" name="KeywordhText" value="<%=Request("Keywordh")%"></br>%>
 <input type="submit" value=" Search " size="100" title="Search everything selected">
 </form>

First, the checkboxes are words of a broken phrase. WHat I need is that whatever I select it should write in the textarea automatically. It's not doing that. Either the javascript is wrong or the eventhandlers are needed, or both.
