I have a fex that is passing parameters from a asp page front end. One of the fields is a check box. The drop down fields are just amper variables that I pass from the asp page, but how do I validate the check box in my fex?

I imagine the checkbox on the ASP page looks something like this:

<input name="SUBTOTALS" type="checkbox" value="YES">

If the box is not checked when the form is submitted, nothing for that form object is passed to WebFOCUS. You should default the form object parameter to a value in the WebFOCUS program:

-DEFAULT &SUBTOTALS = '';

Now you can check if the value of the form object parameter contains the checkbox value (in my example 'YES') or blank.

yes it looks very similar to your code

<TD align=right><INPUT type=checkbox value=1 id=iHideNonShipable name=iHideNonShipable  onclick="chkBoxOnClick[this, 'hdHideNonShip');"></TD>

The code is

<INPUT type=checkbox value =1 id=iHipenonshipable name=iHideNonShipable onclick="chkBoxonClick[this, 'hdhideNonship');">

would I check if &iHidenonshipable = '1'?

Sorry,I am trying to post the code

The answer is yes, you check for the value of &iHideNonShipable.

The first thing I do when writing a fex that is executed from a form submission is to add

-? &

to the begining of the fex. This will display all Dialogue Manager variables available in the fex - variables passed from the form, system variables and variables created in the fex.

To include HTML code in a forum posting, add "code" tags to the html:

[code]

your html here

[/code]

You can either type the code tags manually or click on the < / > icon.
