Create a name for a checkbox on the fly?

Please check out this test page

http://www.magicbean.ca/parties.php

I have the repeat region on and I'm just wondering how could I get those checkboxes to have the name of one of the rows in a table?

What I am trying to do is have it so that the on of the "INT" rows decrements with a checked submission.

Is that possible?

Hey,
I don't know exactly what your code looks like, but you could do something like

<input type="checkbox" name="<?=$tablerow['name']?>" value="2">

Thank you very much here is my code so far.

<?php
mysql_select_db($database_magicbean, $magicbean);
$query_Parties = "SELECT parties.dateday, parties.datemonth, parties.datedate, parties.dateyear, parties.calltime, parties.location, parties.bj, parties.partyID FROM parties";
$Parties = mysql_query($query_Parties, $magicbean) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Parties = mysql_fetch_assoc($Parties);
$totalRows_Parties = mysql_num_rows($Parties);
?>

What field are you trying to use to name it after?
Just do something like

<input name="<?=$row_Parties['partyID']?>" type="checkbox" id="<?=$row_Parties['partyID']?>">

<input name="<?=$row_Parties['partyName']?>" type="checkbox" id="<?=$row_Parties['partyID']?>">
