How do I check for multiple 'checked' checkbox values? For instance, I have a form with 5 checkbox options. Suppose the user only checked 3. How do I check how many boxes were chekcked and then of course get the value of each check box?

;;;How do I check how many boxes were checked and then of course get the value of each check box?
Do you need the number of checked boxes in addition to each of thier values?
Do you need to ensure a certain number of boxes are checked before the form can be posted?

Getting the values is the same as any other form elements, using:
request.form("chqBoxName")
on the page the form is being posted to.

Two common ways:
1..Name all the checkboxes the same. The value(s) of each checkbox(s) that have been checked get posted as one commer delimited string.

2..Name them uniquely. Address each named checkboxes seperatley as required.

<form name="form1" method="post" action="page.asp">
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="1">
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="2">
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="3">
</form>

--Page.asp--
chkCnt=request.form("checkbox").count
response.write "Number of boxes checked: "&chkCnt&"<BR>"
i=1
if chkCnt > 0 then
  do while i <=chkCnt
    response.write request.form("checkbox")(i) & "check value<BR>"
  i=i+1
  loop
end if

Excellent. Great!. This works. Thanks.

I know this is an older post, however, I am looking to do something very simular, but how can I pass multiple values like the exammple below to another .asp page to do the work?
