Kindly help me with this checkbox issue

Question

Hi all,
Firstly I would like t o thank this very helpful forum.I have one more question regarding checkboxes.
/*courses.jsp*/ In my courses.jsp which connects to an MS Access database I have something like this...
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="COURSES" VALUE="rs.getString("course")"><%out.print(rs.getString("course"));%></td>/*courses.jsp*/
This is coming from the database.
In my servlet code i have this in the doPost method.
/*CheckBoxServlet*/ PS : This servlet is not connected to the database..
String checkbox[] = request.getParameterValues("COURSES");
          int counter = checkbox.length;
          System.out.println("Number of checkboxes checked " + counter);
          if (checkbox !=null){
               for (int i = 0; i < checkbox.length; i++) {
               System.out.println("Checkbox values "+ checkbox);
     } else {
               System.out.println("none selected");
/*CheckBoxServlet*/
/* OUTPUT */
I have checked 5 check boxes
Checkbox values rs.getString(
Checkbox values rs.getString(
Checkbox values rs.getString(
Checkbox values rs.getString(
Checkbox values rs.getString(
/*OUTPUT*/
My question is why is it not printing out the value in rs.getString()????.
It would be great if this forum helps me in the right direction.Let me know how i can go about doing this.
I hope i have explained my question correctly.If you have any further questions kindly ask.
Thanking every one in adavance

Answer 1

your mixing html and java code
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="COURSES"
VALUE="rs.getString("course")"><%out.print(rs.getStrin
g("course"));%></td>based on this it should be
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="COURSES"
VALUE="<%out.print(rs.getString("course"));%>)"><%out.
print(rs.getString("course"));%></td>
Hi again,
Thanks for the reply.
If I give this
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="COURSES" VALUE="<%out.print(rs.getString("course"));%>"><%out.print(rs.getString("course"));%>This is the error message i get
