I'm not using any javascript in there. Just pure ASP. See the entire code
at the bottom - you can just copy and paste, set filename to default.asp and
put it on a server somewhere. (Although I did put out the code to the screen
when you use the example.) You can even experiment with getting rid of the
ID tags - I don't care.
Oh - just one more thing and that's those label tags. I started using them
some time ago because they actually are, in my eyes, required for
userfriendliness. By putting a label and setting the "for" attribute to the
ID of the checkbox, you also make that text a clickable reference to the
box. Try that example again I put online http://www.grace.be/tests/form and
click on the text next to a checkbox. This simulates how most OS's treat
checkboxes and I think we should all start using those label tags NOW. ;)
Unless someone will tell us they're not HTML compliant?
