checkbox checked if in session array

[brahm]

Hello,

I have created a recordset that diplays checkboxes all with the same name but have different values.

city = request.querystring("city")
city = Replace( city, ", ", "','" )
session("city") = city

Now when I revisit the page I would like the checkbox to be checked if the recordset("city") is found in session("city")

Can you explain to me what needs to be done.

Thanks

It might help if you posted a snippet of the code that is giving you problems... I can think of a couple ways to accommplish this, but without knowing exactly, well it'sa kinda harda to a do a ;)

Below is the code where I am having a problem.

<%
if rs_city("city") = session("city") then
checked = "checked"
end if
%>
<input type="checkbox" name="city" value="<%=(rs_city("city"))%>" <%=checked%> >

the variable checked never = "checked" because the session("city") is an array. I need to know how to make the field rs_city("city") look to see if it is anywhere whithin the array.

I appreciate your help
Thanks

from what i can see in your first post, it isn't an actual "array" per se. it's more of a comma delimited value.

you could do this:

if (instr(1, session("city"), rs_city("city"), 1) > 0) then
checked = "checked"
end if

not sure how efficient that is without seeing the rest of your code, but i'm pretty sure it'll do the job.
