Just make sure yourvalue is unique to the checkbox, so you know which checkboxes were selected. I've not tried that, but name="something[]" works with file inputs so that they are all in same post variable as an array.PJ wrote:Neither do I; it's rather a question of necessity: "do or die!" :-) But I'm glad you brought this up. Only problem is, I think that the code to gather the 60+ inputs would get long and more complicated than dealing with the multiple input dropdown box. Probably a matter of personal choice. Thanks.Well, I think 60+ checkboxes get kind of garbagyI bet it is easier to select the fields you want from 4 columns of 15 checkboxes than from a big long list of 60 in a select. But you might be right. I don't design for a living.
