Hi,

I have this variable

checkstats=rs("Status")

if checkstats has the value Yes then i want the checkbox to be selected

IF it doesnt have any value or its blank then checkbox should not be selected

I have my code like this

Code:

<%
checkstats=rs("Status")
Response.write "Status :-" & checkstats & "<br/>"
%>

<input type="checkbox" name="status" id="status" value="<%=checkstats%>" <%if Trim(checkstats)=Trim(Request.Form("status")) then Response.Write "checked" end if%> >

But it doesnt select the checkbox

any idea

Try this:-

Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="status" id="status" value="<%=checkstats%>" <%if Trim(checkstats)=Trim(Request.Form("status")) then Response.Write " checked" end if%> >

You need to response.write "<space>checked" for it to build the checkbox correctly.
Otherwise you have <input type="checkbox" name="status" id="status" value="your_value"checked > which would not check the box.

Hope that helps.
