Dynamic checkboxes ¿?

[plasmahba]

Hi phpeople

I have a page with some data than you can update just by clicking a checkbox.

The problem is that when I try to update it the options that were checked before show not checked.

What I would like to do is to make and update page where the checkboxes that are already updated appear checked depending the database.

Is this possible to do?

<input name="one" type="checkbox" id="one" value="http://localhost/one.gif">

So for example if the query find the field NULL it appears unchecked otherwise if appears checked.

Any help will be appreciated

i did something kinda like that with some simple javascript:

function keepChecked(checkbox_this)
{ checkbox_this.checked = true; }

i use it with onClick for things i want to keep mandatory
onClick="keepChecked(this);"

so if you want it checked or not on page load, you'll have to access it. i would guess at document.formname.checkboxname = true/false.

keepChecked(formname,checkboxname)
{ obj = eval the statement "document." + formname + "." + checkboxname
obj = true/false }

something along those lines, can't remember the syntax right now.

oh yeah, and just call it with a php statement
IF (blah)
{ echo '<script type="text/javascript">keepChecked('.$formname.','.$checkboxname.');</script>'; }
