retrieve selected data

hello,

we are displaying dept numbers, for each dept number we have one check box. requirement is, we have to provide a submit button and also, selection of multiple check boxes. users will select multiple check boxes and click on submit button, once the button is clicked, selected values should be passed to another report.

how to add submit button on report and how to retrieve what values are selected?

Regards,
Suresh

I haven't done this, but you can grab report data using the value-of tag in an HTML text box, so you could store your data in an array and iterate through it in your text box while you build a HTML checkbox list. Then you'd use the selected values to build your URL.

I am getting values in check box(text box) using value-of.issue is how to know/capture, what are the rows selected?

Hi,

You can also pass the row number in the checkbox value to know what rows you need, by using row[0] (which starts from 0 as the first value)

thanks,

sorry, I could not understand.
even if we store the values in array, how do we get to know what are the check boxes are selected after clicking submit button.

please share the report if you have anything.

I think what pooh is telling you is that you only get the values back for the checkboxes that are checked when the form/page is submitted. It's explained pretty well <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4542'>here</a>
