Re: ***** <input TYPE="checkbox"> issue

Thanks Sarah!

"The JavaScript code you wrote is checking the value of the checkbox, which 
is always the same. You need to check the state ( ie is it checked or no) 
of the checkbox, which can be done as follows: alert( 
Form1.rating.checked);"

===> I changed it from "value" to "checked" and you were correct!  I was 
not undertanding the concept.

"Also, why are you building the QueryString in your Javascript function 
when the form is using the POST method?"

===>  Definitively, this is also lack of understanding.  I just copied a 
previous script and put it to work.  I think is because with JS was easy 
to build the string and have all the required parameters for the next 
page... I guess... I am open to recommendations, please.

"What programming language is "Top20CusSum/report" written in?"

===> It is a combination of Net.Data and HTML, wrapped up in CGI...  I am 
reading data from the iSeries.

By the way, I will be developing the same thing but using CGIDEV and 
because I did not had time to start reviewing this material, I decided to 
work this project like this and then using CGIDEV...  the feedback I have 
read from the list is that is the easiest thing to do...

About the JS thing, I will check the "checked" parameter and explore that 
area...

Thanks again Sarah!
