Dynamic radio Button

The Mighty Dubs

Hi,

having a few problems trying to get this script working...any help would be appreciated. This is what i have done. Basically if the user has filled in a field on a db, they will be aloud click a radio otherwise "N/A" will appear.

<%
Dim strChkBox
Dim vChkBox
vChkBox=false
If recordset1.Fields("FreightQuote").Value <> "" or NOT isnull(recordset1.Fields("FreightQuote").Value) Then
vChkBox=true
End If
If vChkBox=false then
strChkBox= Response.write "N/A"
Else
strChkBox=<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox" id="chkbox" value="<%=Recordset1.Fields.Item("CartID").Value%>">
End If
%>

<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox" id="chkbox" value="<%strChkBox%>"></div>

Could be wrong, it's been a while . It looks like you trying to write N/A to the Response but you also trying to assign Response.Write to a variable. I've commented out the original line of code and put mine in. The changes are in bold.

<%
Dim strChkBox
Dim vChkBox
vChkBox=false
	If recordset1.Fields("FreightQuote").Value <> "" or  NOT isnull(recordset1.Fields("FreightQuote").Value) Then
		vChkBox=true
		End If
	If vChkBox=false then
		'//strChkBox= Response.write "N/A" 
                [b]Response.write "N/A"[/b]
	Else
		strChkBox=<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox" id="chkbox" value="<%=Recordset1.Fields.Item("CartID").Value%>">
	End If
%>
				  
<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox" id="chkbox" value="<%strChkBox%>"></div>

Thats cool. Cheers for that Evil Phil...Seems to have fixed that line but im getting a new error from the next line...


Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A03EA)
Syntax error
checkbox.asp, line 349, column 9
strChkBox=<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox" id="chkbox" value="<%=Recordset1.Fields.Item("CartID").Value

Any ideas

You have code delimiters ( <% and %> ) within your code. Basically an asp file contains a mix of regular html and vbscript code, you put vbscript code in between the start code delimter <% and the end code delimter %> to show the difference between them. In you case you've got some code between a <% and a %> but you've got another <% and %> that you don't need on the line with the error.

When you take them out, you're going to get another error because in that line you're trying to assign a string to strChkBox but you don't have quotes around it, you'll need to put quotes around it, and because your string needs to have quotes in it aswell, you'll need to put double quotes in for them which should give you something like

strChkBox="<input type=""checkbox"" name=""chkbox"" id=""chkbox"" value=""" + Recordset1.Fields.Item("CartID").Value + """>"

You'll then need to write that string out to response. You also seem to have the same checkbox in below in the HTML part of the file (outside the code delimiters), you'll probably want to take that out too or you'll end up with the same checkbox twice.
