checkbox array vars across pages

@JonaNov 09.2004 — #[font=trebuchet ms]Set a cookie. If you're using a server-side language, you shouldn't have a lot of trouble doing this. There's no need for JavaScript, is there?[/font]

@phptekauthorNov 10.2004 — #Cheers for your quick reply - and for sure, I was thinking along the lines of a cookie, using PHP's session functionality - one of those just-before-sleep moments of clarity ?

I thought about JS as that's how the only other system I've seen that does what I want, does it - ie: Yahoo! Mail.

Thanks a lot regardless ?

@KorNov 10.2004 — #Well, if you insist, here's a javascript solution based on sending some variables through the address bar as queries;

in index.html

[code=php]
 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

 <head>
 <title>Untitled Document</title>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

 function sendV(){
 c=document.getElementsByTagName('input');
 nv=new Array()
 j=0;
 for(var i=0;i<c.length;i++){
 if((c[i].type=='checkbox')&&(c[i].checked)){
 nv[j]=[c[i].name,c[i].value];
 j++;
 }
 }
 sended=''
 for(var i=0;i<nv.length;i++){
 sended = sended+'_'+nv[i][0]+'='+nv[i][1];
 }
 location.href='next.html'+'?'+sended;
 }
 </script>
 </head>
 <body>
 <form>
 <input name="one" type="checkbox" value="1">ONE<br>
 <input name="two" type="checkbox" value="2">TWO<br>
 <input name="three" type="checkbox" value="3">THREE<br>
 <input name="but" type="button" value="Next" onclick="sendV()">
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>
 [/code]

and in next.html

 function writeD(){ 
 var a = location.href.split('?') 
 var a = a[a.length-1].split('_'); 
 var texts='';
 var cName = new Array()//the checked names as an array
 var cValue = new Array()//the checked values as an array 
 var j=0;
 for(var i=1;i<a.length;i++){

 j++
 }
 document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=texts;
 } 
 onload=writeD; 
 </script> 
 </head> 
 <body> 
 NEXT PAGE<br>
 On the index page you have checked the boxes:<br>
 <div id="txt"></div>
