value of check box

[sweetyp2005]

I have checkbox as following

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="BannerAds" VALUE="<b>Affiliate</b><br>Affilate">
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="BannerAds" VALUE="<b>Visa</b><br>Visa">
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="BannerAds" VALUE="<b>Free</b><br>Free">

<cfif #form.checkbox# is "<b>Affiliate</b><br>Affilate">
<cfdocument>
<cfoutput>#form.checkbox#</cfoutput>
</cfif>

but the cfif condition is not correct. How do i fix that?

Try this:

<cfif form.BannerAds is "<b>Affiliate</b><br>Affilate">
<cfdocument>
<cfoutput>#form.BannerAds#</cfoutput>
</cfif>

The name of the form field uses the name attribute.

The value of a submitted checkbox is "on" or "".

<cfset bannerVal1 = "<b>Affiliate</b><br>Affilate"> <!--- Affiliate ? --->
<cfset bannerVal2 = "<b>visa</b><br>visa">
<cfset bannerVal3 = "<b>Free</b><br>Free">
<form>
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="BannerAds1"> Affilate<br>
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="BannerAds2"> Visa <br>
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="BannerAds3"> Free
</form>
<cfif IsDefined("form.BannerAds1") and form.BannerAds1 is "on">
<cfdocument>
<cfoutput>#bannerVal1#</cfoutput>
</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined("form.BannerAds2") and form.BannerAds2 is "on">
<cfdocument>
<cfoutput>#bannerVal2#</cfoutput>
</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined("form.BannerAds3") and form.BannerAds3 is "on">
<cfdocument>
<cfoutput>#bannerVal3#</cfoutput>
</cfif>

If the user must make only one selection out of the three, then Radio buttons
will do a better job than checkboxes.

<input type="radio" value="<b>Affiliate</b><br>Affilate"
name="BannerAds">Affilate<br>
<input type="radio" value="<b>visa</b><br>visa" name="BannerAds">Visa<br>
<input type="radio" value="<b>Free</b><br>Free" name="BannerAds">Free

I've not used the cfdocument tag, but the reference manual states that format
is a required field.
You have no /cfdocument within the cfif block
You should pre-check one of the checkboxes or use a cfparam in your form
handler

....format is a required parameter. You have no /cfdocument within the cfif block
Thanks for pointing out the oversight, PaulKD. I've made the correction.
