I have a set of check boxes and corresponding text
boxes in a HTML form. I want to display the text box
value if the corresponding check box is checked.
Can anybody tell me how to accomplish this?when are you trying to display the text box value? After they hit a submit button or something? If thats true then you can if you want write a servlet or jsp which will handle the POST action. Then you can get the value depending on what you named it in them in the JSP.
So if you named your field something like:
<input type="text" name="text_one"/><input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="one"><br>
<input type="text" name="text_two"/><input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="two"><br>
<input type="text" name="text_three"/><input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="three"><br>
Now you can do:
String[] checkBoxValues = request.getParameterValues("mycheckbox");
for(int i = 0; i < checkBoxValues.length; i++) {
if(checkBoxValues.equals("one"))
System.out.println(request.getParameter("text_one");
else if(checkBoxValues[i].equals("two"))
System.out.println(request.getParameter("text_two");
else if(checkBoxValues[i].equals("three"))
System.out.println(request.getParameter("text_three");
Obviously there probably way better ways to do this but this should at least lead you in the right direction.
