Recover checkboxes on pageload

I understand there are several ways to save checkbox information. The way that best fits this application is validating on the divID but the function is still not working.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
function checkCB() {

          var inputs = document.getElementById(Filtered).getElementsByTagName('input');

           for (var i=0; i<inputs.length ; i++)

               {

               var obj = inputs[i];

               if(inputs[i].type == "checkbox") {

               inputs[i].checked=false;

               }

           }

      }

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
<input 

    type="checkbox"

    class="checkbox"

    id="Filtered"

    name="title"

    value="false"

    />

"Filtered" should be in quotes.

I managed to get the field in the URL showing the correct value onsubmit and the view source is correct as well. But the checkbox itself remains empty.

function checkCB() {

      var inputs = document.getElementById("Filtered").getElementsByTagName('input');

        for (var i=0; i<inputs.length ; i++)

               {

         var obj = inputs[i];

        if(inputs[i].type == "checkbox") {

         inputs[i].checked="false"; 

               }

           }

       }

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
<body onload="checkCB()"> 
 
<%     

String title = request.getParameter("title");

        if (title != "false") 

        {

    title = "true";

        }

%>
 
<input

Filtered is the name of the checkbox, so if you try to get the input elements from there, you won't get anything. Look for the parent element container for the checkbox and then use getElementsByTagName.

I do appreciate your feedback aCoder although I'm not sure I understand what I need to key in on.

What exactly is checkCB() supposed to do? In your code, setting checked to false would mean that the checkbox is unchecked.

Once the checkbox is checked, the form is submitted to a second form. The second form includes the checkbox and I need it to be checked or unchecked depending on the user selection.

I must be getting mixed up if I am setting the box to false in my function.

In that case, you don't even need JavaScript (though you could use JavaScript too).

A checkbox is only passed through if it is checked, so in your JSP code, check that the value exists. If it does, set the checked attribute to "checked" or "true" for the checkbox using JSP.

I have this working but is there a cleaner way to recheck checkboxes on pagination?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<%

String[] categories = request.getParameterValues("category");

        String category = "";

    if(categories != null)

    {

        for(int ii = 0; ii < categories.length; ii++)

        {

        category += categories[ii];

        }

                }

%>

<div class="item">

     <input 

    type="checkbox"  

    id="cb1" 

    name="category"

    value="cb1"

    <%  if (categories.indexOf("cb1") == -1) {%>

    <%  } else { %>

    checked="yes"

    <% } %>

        Checkbox 1

</div>

<div class="item">

     <input 

    type="checkbox"  

    id="cb2" 

    name="category"

    value="cb2"

    <%  if (categories.indexOf("cb2") == -1) {%>

    <%  } else { %>

    checked="yes"

    <% } %>

       Checkbox 2

</div>

The cleaner way would be to only check if checked:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

      <input 

    type="checkbox"  

    id="cb1" 

    name="category"

    value="cb1"

    <%  if (categories.indexOf("cb1") != -1) {%>

    checked

    <% } %>>

        Checkbox 1

Don't forget to close the tag.
