data repeater question

[Stephen]

Hi,

I have a quick question. I am displaying all the orders that are active. I
am making use of a datarepeater with checkboxes to display data and a submit
button to insert into the database.

suppose i want to make the orders inactive using the checkboxes and click on
the submit button should update the database.

How do I capture the event such that only those check boxes that have been
checked are updated and not others?

Thanks,
Stephen.

When you render the checkbox in the template, give them
all the same name but a different HTML value attribute.
This value attribute should be the ID that you want to
update/delete/add (whatever).

When you post back, if the checkboxes all have the same
name, the values will be concatenated into a single comma
delimited value. You can get this from the Request by
using the name of the checkboxes and then splitting on the
comma and looping through each value.
