Checkboxes

[kydco1]

I may be in the wrong place but I'll start here. I have a page that I list links to audio files. Next to each title, I have a checkbox so that the user can check off what he or she has listened to. How can I save the checked boxes. This is a stand alone pc. Thanks!:cool:

If an MSIE only version is acceptable then Google "HTML Application" and ("ADO Recordset" or "Scripting.FilesystemObject").

MSIE is fine. I have been using use HoTMetaL Pro and Dreamweaver for 10 years. Not sure about Google apps.

or Gears (http://gears.google.com/)if you want to use more browsers.

I'm not talking about Google Apps, MSIE will let you do absolutely anything to the local box if you get it to drop the security restritions. Running the file as an HTML Application (.HTA) instead of straight HTML will cause it to drop the security restrictions. You won't need to install anything.

Thanks all...I'll check out your suggestions

I saved a sample file as .hta with a check box in a table. I checked the box but there is no way to save it and when I close the file and open it again, the check is gone

Did you Google "HTML Application"? You'll need to put a few parts together. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536496(VS.85).aspx http://www.w3schools.com/ado/default.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6kxy1a51(VS.85).aspxI would suggest building a disconnected ADO recordset which can be saved and then re-opened. But you can just save everything to some kind of text file if you prefer.

Bingo! Just found what I needed from one of FANG's post on another topic. Thanks!
