Re: PHP & JavaScript

For grouped checkboxes that have numerical keys, why not give them an ID that's simply a concatenation of NAME and the VALUE, so it's unique? Run the NAME though a preg_replace to replace non alphanum chars (\W+) with an underscore first to make sure it's a valid ID. i.e. <checkbox name="blah[]" id="blah_1" value="1"> <checkbox name="blah[]" id="blah_2" value="2"> I've used this with some code i wrote that allows me to either output a multi-select or a group of checkboxes, from a single array of values.

Simplest solution is to use id="whatever" for JS. It *is* possible to get [] into the name of a box in JS, but I never succeeded in any useful way myself.

Since I have a fair amount of checkboxes I want to put them in an array all their own so I use the XHTML syntax w/brackets; <input type="checkbox" name="list37[]" value="7" /> Suddenly JavaScript doesn't care for the object and throws an error (take the brackets out and it works fine for JS, but PHP cannot see all of the values). I have Googled for this but think that my search term(s) are failing me because the condition is hard to describe. Would someone please point me in the right direction?
