checkbox in YUI DataTable

Question

I'm using a column of checkboxes in a YUI DataTable, I works fine. But I haven't found a way to put a name and value attribute so I can use when the form is submitted.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In order to get a name and value attribute, you use a checkbox like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="the_name" value="the_value" />

In your server-side code, you would look into the POST or GET data for the name of the checkbox. If it is there, the checkbox was checked. If it isn't there, the checkbox was not checked.
