Re: CGIDEV2 getting checkbox values of same name.

[Jeffrey Flaker <jflaker@xxxxxxx>]

The problem with check boxes is that they are not sent unless they are
checked.  The problem occurs if you are expecting a one:one relationship
of checkboxes to other form values.  

Radio buttons, on the other hand, can be paired (more than one for one)
so you can have a YES or NO instance of the same name and always set ONE
of them defaulted to CHECKED as they have different values.  The form
will send the radiobutton values on each submit.

Just a thought.

Sorry to post such nonsense...  I hate when I post a question and figure
out the answer on my own anyway.

Anyway... I realized that the zhbGetVarCnt   returns the number of checked
boxes, not the number of actual occurences in the html page.  Then I needed
to assign a row value to the checkbox so that I could get actual row
checked.

<input type="checkbox" name="rowsel" value=1 />

Thanks for listening.
