I am viewing a page that was developed in ASP and all the checkbox name are all the same, but the value are different.
Upon selecting a list of checkbox and click on the display record buttong, it wouldn't then display the record that I have selected using the checkbox.
How would you construct an array of checkbox in CF?

hi,
first of all why do u need to give same name to all checkboxex, usually this kind of a scenario is used with radio buttons where we give same names to all checkboxes which then show as radio buttons and the one selected will be returned,i agree with venkateshwarr .

Hello SolverSurfer,
My comment is extracted as a short explanation from different web sites with questions about working with checkboxex under CF.
If you have multiple checkboxes with the same name, whe you send the form you get the values separated by comma of the selected checkboxes.
1000 checkboxes with 1000 values - if you check 500 of them, you get a string of 500 values separated by comma.

All the name value pairs are sent to the page(action) seperated by commas.
