[Nfb-web] java script glitch

[Graham Mehl]

Hi Bryan,
I tried to duplicate your problem. I did not use PHP or an external js file,
and I kept the limit at 2 since I did not have a long list.
And I got it to work with 3 minor changes. 
I can send you the sample I used if you want. But I basically created a HTML
page starting with the sample you pointed us to and made your code
substitutions.
Yes, the array SelDrvr[] is probably the main source of your problem or
rather the syntax you are using.
I simply removed the left and right square brackets in the HTML input tag
line and the javascript method call.
The third change I made or recommend is not really regarding your problem.
in the HTML input tag line, one of the attributes you have listed is value.
All attributes should have quotation marks around the value itself. so your
sample line would look like this now.

<input type="checkbox" name="SelDrvr" tabindex="1"
value="Antron_Brown$1,400,000" />Antron_Brown$1,400,000 <br />

And if you may, I would like to make one other recommendation. I am not sure
what the dollar amount is needed for, but I would recommend not using it in
the value attribute if at all possible. Or at least the dollar sign symbol.
The dollar sign in most programming is a special character that indicates a
variable name and could cause other problems down the line in your
processing.

hi,

after reading the sample found at:
http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/checkboxlimit.shtml

any idea why this won't fire after 8 checkboxes are selected?
does it matter if the java script function is in an external .js file?
i have a feeling it has something related to the SelDrvr[] checkbox array.

form html code:
<form id="drivers" name="drivers" action="teamsummary.php" method="post" 
align="left">

sample checkbox line generated from php:
<input type="checkbox" name="SelDrvr[]" tabindex="1" 
value=Antron_Brown$1,400,000>Antron_Brown$1,400,000

on same page with the form:
<script type="text/javascript">
checkboxlimit(document.forms.drivers.SelDrvr[], 8) </script>
