Dynamic Checkboxes

Sorry, but I search the forum for this topic, and the examples that are listed, doesn't work for me.

I need to create dynamic checkboxes with values from an array.

A stupid example:

the array comes with:

I want to create four dynamic checkboxes with that values. Something like:


When I tried this, it only create the FIRST checkboxes (apple) and nothing more.

The result must be:

[ ] Apple
[ ] Orange
[ ] Lemon
[ ] Banana

How I can do that?

Thanks.

You need to make it a block:

<input type='checkbox' value='[blkFruits.val;block=input]' name='Fruits[]'>[blkFruits.val]</input>

Make sure you use MergeBlock instead of MergeField

Hi! This worked.

BUT, It shows the result:

[ ] apple [ ] orange [ ] lemon [ ] banana

And I need a <BR> after each checkbox...

How can I do it?

Thks

I MADE IT! :)

Here, the solution of the problem.

Ok. Now Im having ANOTHER problem.

I need to check if the checkbox is SELECTED or NOT.

What is the situation: I have the group of checkboxes (the fruits as mention) and I have another array with the fruits that are selected.


I need to make a function each time that the input code is created to verify if the input is selected or not, by doing a comparation between the input value just created (for example, the 'Apple' value) to the $selected_array. If the value exists in the $selected_array, so the checkbox is SELECTED, else NOT.

What can I do? I really try to find out this answer in the manual, but cant find it...

Thanks.

A hint: look at the 'multi-selection' part of this parameter's doc. ^_^
