checkboxes submit problem

[tarado]

I am submitting a form that has checkboxes that are dynamically generated from a database.

Each Checkbox must have a unique name (ie. name="Red"; name="Blue") for associated javascript to work. Javascript requires a unique name for each.

ex> http://www.medidirect.ca/dev/example.html

For this reason can't use an array of checkboxes (ie. name="Color[]") for the list of checkboxes.

Upon Submit, I need to determine which Checkboxes were submitted then deposit checked items into my database.
(ie. if(isset($Blue)) )

• the problem is that since this form is dynamically generated - I can't hardcode the list of variables to test for.
  I have to generate a list of all vars to test for.

And this is where I am stuck. How can I create a list of vars to test for in the formaction script?

thanks,
Mark, Canada

then use the id tag to uniquly identify your form elements in your javascript

<input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="red" id="red"> red<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="white" id="white"> white<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="blue" id="blue"> blue<br>
