[opencms-dev] How to check the status of a checkbox in a backoffice module?

[Andy Fletcher]

Maarten,

Wouldn't you need to give a value to the checkbox to make it be detected as "on"?

eg.

<input class="textfeld6" type="checkbox" name="visibility" id="visibility" value="on"]]><PROCESS>visibility</PROCESS><![CDATA[>

String temp = (String) parameters.get("visibility");
if(temp.equals("on"))
	visibility = " checked";
else
	visibility = "";



This way the browser will only return the parameter "visibility" when you check it and it will always be equal to "on" if it is checked.
To make a checkbox be checked you need to provide the checked attribute in the tag. I've added a space before it in the string so that it isn't run onto the value="on"

Bit garbled but hope it helps,
Andy
