cfinput checkbox labels

Report · Feb 20, 2013

Dear reader,

I work with Coldfusion 8 and have a form that is type XML .

When I create this code:

3 checkboxes with THE SAME NAME.

the result on screen is what I want, but the problem is now that I cannot access all 3 seperate...

When I change my code to the code is should be:

the result is this:

The labels are gone...

What is causing this prolem?? (I tried a lot of things, but apparently not the correct one...

Very curious about this one!

Have you tried using cfif around the checked area? For example.

Sox:<cfinput label="Sox" name="Sox" type="checkbox"<cfif qCompanyControl EQ 'Sox'> checked="Yes"</cfif>>

Tax:<cfinput label="Tax" name="Tax" type="checkbox"<cfif qCompanyControl EQ 'Tax'> checked="Yes"</cfif>>

Iso:<cfinput label="Iso" name="Iso" type="checkbox"<cfif qCompanyControl EQ 'Iso'> checked="Yes"</cfif>>

That won't compile. You can't nest cf tags like that.

This doesn't really address your question, but have you considered just using a label tag? I've always had dubious results with the label attribute of <cfinput>, so I just use the HTML label tag.

<label for="sox">Sox</label>
<cfinput name="sox" id="sox" type="checkbox" />
<label for="tax">Tax</label>
<cfinput name="sox" id="tax" type="checkbox" />
<label for="iso">Iso</label>
<cfinput name="sox" id="iso" type="checkbox" />

I tried that option, but it doesn't work... maybe this is because the formtype is XML and the label is HTML format? I don't know?
