I need more help with the database results / client side scripting information provided by a Vijay below. I'm obviously not to the level where I can take the outline provided and make it happen on my site.
Can you give a few more details on how to make this work?
Online, the page I am developing is: http://www.djrickmitchell.com/mp3library.asp
It is accessed from this search page: http://www.djrickmitchell.com/mp3librarysearch.asp
I have the checkmark boxes in as described below, I need to know how to be able to turn the a user's marked checkboxes into an email that can be sent to me.

RESPONSE FROM FIRSTQUESTION ABOUT THE PROBLEM:
Hi Rick,
It might get a little tricky, but looks very much possible. Need to use
some client side scripting.
So you have the DRW [database results wizard] screen ready.
1. Just insert a check box next to the fields i.e. <<CategoryID>>
2. Double click on the field and change its value to
<%=FP_FieldLink(fp_rs,"CategoryID")%> where categoryID is the field name.
3. Now when you browse you will find that the checkbox actually has the
field value.
4. Now add a blank form at the end of the page with a "Send email" button.
5. This onclick of this button could look for all checkboxes in the page
with property checked = true and take their value and submit to the mail
sending form.
Regards,
Vijay

|
| I've come across a problem spot with my online database. I have it set
up so a user can input search criteria, and everything displays as I had
hoped.
The next step is my desire to have a unfilled radio button or unchecked
check box next to each of the items that were returned in the search so
that a user could then select anywhere from none to all of the
buttons/check marks and the information for each selected item would be
passed on to either a form or email to be forwarded to me.
The site is not using a user login database, so the ability for the person
to add their name/email address to the selected info needs to be considered.
Can someone point me in the right direction for taking this simple results
database to the next level?
Thanks in advance,
RICK
