Setting HTML parameters based on array prescence

I have a list of checkboxes and I want to check them according to a PHP array which contains some or all of the elements names. IS there an easy way in TBS to do this? I couldn't find it in the manual :(

Thanks!

Hi,

See the HTML plug-in.

Ah, I see. Thanks :)

I had to edit it a little to look for id instead of name, but it went allright. Might be nice to have as an option in there maybe, for the cases where it's needed..

Good stuff.

In an HTML page, IDs must be unique, while names can be repeated. For a group of option buttons, names must be repeated and IDs must unique. Thta's why  items to check should not be searched from their IDs but from there names.

I know, that's why I said it should be an option. In my case I needed the ID for a set of checkboxes, because the names where - as you say - the same (to put all checked items in a PHP array when posted). Had I used the name, all checkboxes would be checked/unchecked simultaneously.

I'll post the affected piece of code in case it's unclear:
This would never work when using name as the selection criterium.

The following works fine with your form:

If $velden is an array containing selected values, like $_POST['In']

Really? I tried it but it didn't work here.. Though maybe I made a mistake, I'll check it out again tomorrow when I get back.

I've tested it with your snippet, it worked fine for me.
