Accessing htmltable cells

[kopacz0]

Hi,

I'm facing a problem with accessing values from htmltable which i generate based on files from one of directories in my web application. Here's code I use to generate table

	Function GenerateAttachTable
	
		Dim fso, folder, files, NewsFile,sFolder  
		Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")  
		sFolder = "Attachments"

		Set folder = fso.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(sFolder))  
		Set files = folder.Files    
		Response.Write("<table style='border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;' id='attach' name='attach'>")
		Response.Write("<tr><th>FileName</th><th>Attach</th></tr>")
		Dim index
		index = 0
		
		For each folderIdx In files    
			Response.Write("<tr>")
				Response.Write("<td>" & folderIdx.Name & "</td>") 
				Response.Write("<td style='text-align: center;'><input type=checkbox id='chk[" & index & "]' name='chk[" & index  & "]' /></td>")
				index   = index  + 1
			Response.Write("</tr>")
		Next  
		Response.Write("</table>")
	
	end function

I do not know how to check which checkboxes were checked. I tried something like Request.Form("attach") and then loop through this object but i do not get any results.

Thanks for any advice!

Are you meaning check which boxes were checked AFTER the form is submitted? (i.e. you run the above code to generate the HTML, the user checks some boxes and submits, THEN you want to check?) If yes then your HTML is missing <form></form> tags, so you don't actually have a form that can be submitted.

Or are you meaning check which boxes have been PREVIOUSLY checked and make those checkboxes automatically ticked in the generated HTML?

I call my function inside html <Form> and my Form declaration looks like this
<form id="frmMain" name="frmMain" action="<%= Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") %>" method="post">

I want to get values after submit and i do not know how to get access to generated table and loop through it rows/cells.

to learn how to find if a checkbox is selected, google the following words and you will get examples:

"request.form checkbox is checked"

[siteguru]

"I want to get values after submit"

cb0 = Request.Form("chk[0]")
cb1 = Request.Form("chk[1]")

If you're not certain how many checkboxes there might be, you could add a hidden field to the GenerateAttachTable function and pass that along with the form ...

		Response.Write("</table>")
		Response.Write("<input type='hidden' name='index' value='" & (index-1) & "' />")

Then you could put the checkboxes in an array sized by the index ...

index = Request.Form("index")
Redim cbArr(index)
For i = 0 to index
  tmp = Request.Form("chk[" & index & "]")
  If Len(tmp) > 0 Then
    cbArr(i) = "On"
  Else
    cbArr(i) = "Off"
  End If
Next

By the way ... GenerateAttachTable looks a lot more like a Sub than it does a Function.
