RE: Checking a checkbox using the value

Hey Michael!
I happened to come across the need to check some checkboxes myself. It's
odd, I always assumed you could use field select for them but it seems
you can't. However, I drafted a new proc that you can get if you cvs
update / checkout tclwebtest. Here is the proc:

ad_proc -private field_check_multiple {
    checkbox_name
    checkbox_values
} {
    Loop over a group of checkboxes with a given name and select
    those with a value matching a list of values.

    @checkbox_name The name of the checkboxes to check
    @checkbox_values A list of values that indicate which checkboxes to
    check

    @autor Peter Marklund
} {
    while { 1 } {
        if { [catch {field find -next ~n $checkbox_name ~t checkbox}] } {
            # No more checkboxes
            break
        }
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
        array set current_field [::tclwebtest::field_current]

        set checkbox_value [lindex $current_field(choices) 1]
        if { [lsearch -exact $checkbox_values $checkbox_value] !=3D -1 } {
            field check
        } else {
            # field_find -next will give us the current field eternally
            as
            # long as it hasn't been modified so increment current field
            manually
            incr ::tclwebtest::current_field
        }
    }
}

Use it like this:

field check_multiple my_checkbox_name [list value1 value2 value3]
