Help with Check box and values Options

[cosmoslyn]

Hi,

I am doing a special table for my boss, and I seem to be unable to get the table to work,

Basically:
Question: Are you free?
Check box at the second column
on the 3rd column I would like to do : if checked, score 1 (1 point) if unchecked score zero... or nothing

would show hidden be good? But I would like to add a sum of all the points later too.

Thank someone help me thanks?
I know it sounds easy, but I haven't been getting it to work.

This can't be done with HTML alone, you need some kind of script --javascript if the page must not be reloaded between checkbox checks, otherwise a serverside (e.g. PHP or ASP).

What is the purpose of the points --are they just for the user's information, or are they stored somewhere?

I am doing a table for a project, it's called a depression scale,
it is a yes/ no answer to a few statements and at the end you get a score.
So the scores are for user information only

I have been trying to use java script, the box ticks but I can't seem to get the score to show .

It helps if you show what you've got so far. Otherwise we can't know what's wrong.

would that help?

[pandy]

And the script?

[pandy]

Maybe I misunderstand. Do you think that this will do something on its own?

CODE

onClick="recalc_onclick('XLEW_2_4_2')"

It won't. It's a call to a function called recalc_onlick() and it passes the parameter 'XLEW_2_4_2' to it. Since there is no function, all you get is a JavaScript error.

You need to to something along these lines.

HTML

<input type='checkbox' onclick="document.getElementById('foo').value='1'">

<input value='0' type='text' id='foo'>

Sorry if I misunderstood THIS time and you just left out the script.

BTW you can't invent your own attributes like sheetid and rowid.

[cosmoslyn]

Not sure Pandy, I am grateful for your help, someone help me with that one so probably that is why I found it a bit confusing, no wonder it didn't work.

If I could just make it as a simple function would be great... would

HTML

<input type='checkbox' onclick="document.getElementById('foo').value='1'">

<input value='0' type='text' id='foo'>

be alright then?

[pandy]

Yes. Just give each text input their own id and then use that id as in my example.
