For loop

Hi to all...

in one of my pages i read data from my DB and display...
i have radio button which the user like select...

<input type="radio" id=group0 name=group0 maxlength=1 size=1 value=1>
<input type="radio" id=group1 name=group1 maxlength=1 size=1 value=1>
...
<input type="radio" id=group4 name=group4 maxlength=1 size=1 value=1>

i have the group ID in a loop do it all depends on how many i have in my DB...

my problem is when i send it to my next page with <form action=

all my other data that i got from my DB are displayed as the following since i useing the same id=name for them
100109, 100109, 100109, 100109, 100109
1, 1, 2, 1, 2
120, 130, 131, 132, 133
so I do ArrVarable = Split(variable, ", ") which creates an array andi know to which one they belong too...

with my group ID variables i trying to create a for loop to create a variable like my other one and then i can split it and i'll know which ones they will belong to...

For i = 0 To UBound(ArraySKU)
intIndexID = "group"+Request.form("i")
intIndexID = intIndexID & "," + "group"+Request.form("i")
next

my intIndexID is empty???

Hope i made it clear...

Thanking you in advance...

But a set of radio buttons with the SAME NAME (there is no reason to give them *any* ID...it's almost useless) will ONLY produce a *SINGLE* value!

That is, if you have:

Code:

<input type="radio" name="group1" value="1">
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="2">
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="3">

then in the ASP code you will do

Code:

<%
group1 = Request("group1") 
%>

and you will *ONLY* get a SINGLE value. You will *NEVER* get a comma-separated list. There is NEVER any reason to SPLIT anything.

OH WAIT! I SEE IT!

You have the "group" in the WRONG PLACE in your ASP code:

Code:

<%
For i = 0 TO UBound( ArraySKU )
    intIndexID = intIndexID & "," & Request("group" & i)
Next
%>

Is *that* what you are after???

But this makes NO SENSE! Why go to all that trouble to convert those separate radio button values into a list and then SPLIT the list to get an array????

Why not just DIRECTLY use

Code:

  
     Request("group" & i)

when you want the i'th radio button value???

the for loop worked perfectly, exactly what i need it to do...
thank you very much...
the reason why i wanted to do it this way is because from the pervious page i don't know how many rows will display...
so by doing the loop and then i
ArrayintIndexID = Split(intIndexID, ",")
creating an array putting them with the other right arrays..

Thx Rino
