Hello,
I am trying to get something like the following working:
I have a string from the database come out like so:
classic, motor, cycle, fred, Australia
I am trying to get if my if statment see's the string (for example) cycle to write "checked"
But on another search it is looking for the string David it says ""
It seems simple, but I for the life of me can not get it to happen. Is there anyone here that knows how to grab that string from an if statement?
What I have tried is this:
Response.Write "<input type="checkbox" name="Vechicle"" & vbNewLine
if Vechicle = "cycle" then
Response.Write "check" & vbNewLine
end if
Response.Write " value="cycle"> Cycle<br>" & vbNewLine
I am trying to have the check boxed checked if it was in the string, but if it is not in the string, then I do not want it checked. I am really stumped with this and know there are quite a few brainy people about that can help. Any help would be great. |
Cheers,
David Greening |

The correct operand to mark the checkbox is "checked" not "check" You probably don't want the & vbNewLine in their either as that will split the HTML up and make the source harder to read.
Response.Write "<input type=""checkbox"" name=""Vechicle"" value=""cycle"""
if Vechicle = "cycle" then Response.Write " checked"
Response.Write "> Cycle<br>" & vbNewLine

Thanks Gremlin,
Gave it a try and it did not work. I would like it to check if a word or string is in the string of words that may come out of the database and if there is a match, then it checks the box to say so.
I left the 'ed' of the code I typed in sorry about that..
Anymore help would be great..

Would instr not work?
if instr(","&StringFromDatabase&",",","&WordToCheck&",") then response.write "whatever you want"
Note: Wrapped everything in commas so a search for cycle wouldn't match something like unicycle. |
