Multiple values from checkboxes

Hello all

I am very new to asp coding and i have a problem which i need help on.

Here is the code i've written so far.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<body>

<%

year1 = request.form("2007")

year2 = request.form("2008")

year3 = request.form("2009")

year4 = request.form("2010")
 
    If year1 = "" AND year2 = "" AND year3 = "" AND year4 = "" then

        endresult = "NO RESULT"

    End If

    If year1 = "2007" AND year2 = "" AND year3 = "" AND year4 = "" then

        endresult = "2007"

    End If

    If year1 = "" AND year2 = "2008" AND year3 = "" AND year4 = "" then

        endresult = "2008"

    End If

    If year1 = "" AND year2 = "" AND year3 = "2009" AND year4 = "" then

        endresult = "2009"

    End If

    If year1 = "" AND year2 = "" AND year3 = "" AND year4 = "2010" then

        endresult = "2010"

    End If
 
Response.write endresult

%>

<form method="POST" action="checkbox.asp">

    <p>

    <input type="checkbox" name="2007" value="2007">2007 

    <input type="checkbox" name="2008" value="2008">2008 

    <input type="checkbox" name="2009" value="2009">2009 

    <input type="checkbox" name="2010" value="2010">2010&nbsp; 

    <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>

</form>

</body>

What i'm trying to do is when the user ticks the box(s) the value goes into endresult but with a twist!!

If i do a single tick then endresult would = that value.

But if i do multiple ticks then i want to find the lowest value then inclued a " - " and find the highest value i.e 2007 - 2009, 2007 - 2010 and so on.

I've been able to work out single ticks which i have done here. But when if comes to finding a value morethan 1 it becomes a bit more complicated for me at a beginners level.

I do hope some will be able to help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

I've managed to work this problem out. Here is the code and it might help another newbie like me!!!

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<body>

<%

yearselected = request.form("year")
 
If (Len(yearselected)) >= 10 then

Response.write (Left(yearselected,4)) & " - " & (Right(yearselected,4))

Else

Response.write yearselected

End If

1. I do not recommend using numbers as a name of form's items. In your case you they have names as "2007". Instead of <input type="checkbox" name="2007" value="2007"> you may use something like <input type="checkbox" name="a2007" value="2007">

2. Try this code, I I get your what you want:

<%
HighestValue = ""
LovestValue = ""

For intCount = 2007 to 2010
If LovestValue = "" then LovestValue = request.form(cStr(intCount))
next

For intCount = 2010 to 2007 step -1
If HighestValue = "" then HighestValue = request.form(cStr(intCount))
next

if HighestValue = LovestValue then
endresult = HighestValue
else
endresult = LovestValue & " - " & HighestValue
end if

response.write(endresult)
%>
