Distinguish between different checkboxes/links in onInputProcessing

Question

Hi everybody,
I've got a form with two links and two checkboxes. I would like to trigger a serverside event handling when any of these elements is pressed. So I use Javascript: the page attribute 'navigate' is filled with different values on client side (document.view.navigate.value = action) and the form then sent by 'document.forms[0].submit();'.
<form name="view">
<a href="javascript:submit('select1');">
<a href="javascript:submit('select2');">
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb1" VALUE="X" onclick="javascript:submit('upload1');">
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb2" VALUE="X" onclick="javascript:submit('upload2');">
<input type="hidden" value="" NAME="navigate">
<input type="hidden" value="" NAME="OnInputProcessing(input>">
<endform>
<script>
function submit(action) {
   document.view.navigate.value = action;
   document.forms[0].submit();}
</script>
This works fine for the two links: 'navigate' is filled with either 'select1' or 'select2'. However 'navigate' is initial when I select one of the checkboxes.
Unfortunately I can't use 'htmlb:checkbox' in this project.
Can You help me there?
Best regards,
Markus

Answer 1

I tried using this syntax and i was able to capture the event.
<script>
function submit_action(action)
  alert(action)
</script>
<input type="checkbox" name="Bike" onclick="submit_action('upload')" />
This is passing the upload to my javascript function.
hope this helps.
Cheers
