Checkbox - multiple values with same name

Report · Nov 16, 2008

I have a cfoutput from a query and within that I have a <cfinput type="checkbox" name ="GroupID" value ="#Query.GroupID#"> to input the GroupID value from any checked checkbox.

It passes all of the values from the checked boxes, but without the comma between the values. I end up with one string with "GroupIDGroupIDGroupID". I am 99% sure that this worked on CF7, but am now running CF8 and Dreamweaver 8.

From what I've seen in a bunch of forums, this procedure should create "GroupID,GroupID,GroupID".

Any ideas?

yeah, that should work... and it does for me...
post your code that creates the checkboxes - something must be wrong
with that...

Problem discovered. Turns out that one of our housekeeping modules was doing a CFSET to NumbersOnly on the GroupID fields because they must be numeric, which of course removed the commas. I changed the CFSET to do a StripAllBut(form.Group.ID, "1234567890,",false) and it works fine.

Amazing how a change to fix one problem can come back to haunt you months later.
