RE: Checking a checkbox using the value

Thanks, Peter. I can get it to work using field find, field check, field
find -next, etc. but because all the checkboxes have the same name, I'm
relying on them being displayed in a particular order.

Since I know you have expertise in the area I can go into a bit more detail
;) I'm automating a build of an OpenACS system, and the page in question is
the one in the APM where you select which packages to install. I could write
my own scripts to do this but I think it's cleaner to have the test harness
completely external.

Out of interest, how are you guys doing the rebuild of dotLRN every night?
