Noobie needs help: CGI, tables and checkboxes.

| Hi folks!
I'm a fairly major noobie with perl / cgi, and so this question might seem really simple, in which case, hopefully the answer will also be really simple!
I'm writing a site that will effectively be a gift registry for my fiance and I. I need to set it up so that people can tick a checkbox, and 'strikeout' any particular gift.
The problem is, I can't get the checkboxes to work!
What I need help with is:
1) How do I get the checkboxes to work properly?
2) How do I actually read which checkbox has been ticked!? all I want the value of the checkbox to be is the line number (that is what row), so I can go to the corresponding line in the flat file where I store the list, and put a 1 on the end.
thanks for any help! | |

| For some reason it won't let me post code, so I've attached some of the offending code (so you can see what I'm doing) in a .txt attachement. | |

| Ok, I got the checkboxes working ok, now the next problem :P
I'm trying to access an array from within a different "elsif" statement, and for some reason, it's not letting me!
I have:
elsif (param("submit")) {
@checks = param("Pres");
..
..
..
Later on I have:
elsif (param("verify")) {
..
..
..}
Within the "verify" parameter state, I want to be able to use that @checks information. Any ideas on how to get to it? |
