Limiting Number of Checkboxes

[blkcop]

I am hoping someone can help with this. I am running a query which selects all
members of staff. This is then output to a form with checkboxes assigned with a
delimiter and the staff id as the name of the checkbox (ie - MOD_#staff_id#).

I want to be able to select ONLY ONE checkbox from the entire form (there are
only about 10 records in the table) and RESTRICT ALL OTHERS from being selected
once a checkbox has been marked off. In other words, once you select a checkbox
you should not be able to select anything else unless you clear the one you
previously selected, or ideally if you select more than one it automatically
clears the previously selected box.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hello,

Maybe you can use radio against chekbox ?
Else you can do that with javascript...

Sorry for my bad english

I agree with JB's suggestion. If you only want the user to be able to make one
selection, use radio buttons. Just make sure to give all of the buttons the
same name.





<form ...(your form settings)...>
<!--- radio button example: user will only be allowed to select one option
--->
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="1" checked> Staff Member 1<br>
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="2"> Staff Member 2<br>
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="3"> Staff Member 3<br>
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="4"> Staff Member 4<br>
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="5"> Staff Member 5<br>
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="6"> Staff Member 6<br>
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="7"> Staff Member 7<br>
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="8"> Staff Member 8<br>
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="9"> Staff Member 9<br>
<input type="radio" name="member_id" value="10"> Staff Member 10<br>
</form>
