RE: [Openinteract-help] help with silly checkbox problem...

[Chris M. <Chr...@te...>]

Hi,

Yes, I've actually tried that... and the eq as opposed to == thing - I
wasn't thinking when I wrote that in the email I guess ;-)

Anyway, here's what I've got right now...  it's a bit of a mishmash of
different things I've tried.  The input is from a form that displays a
number of records.  When a record is changed, it sets a 'dirty' variable
(with javascript, a hidden field) so that I can tell which ones have
changed.  $count comes from the form to indicate how many records have been
displayed.  And, of course, the delete parameter is from a checkbox...

for $i ( 0 .. $count ) {
	my $dirty = "dirty".$i;
	my $delete = "delete".$i;
	... (more variables)
	if ($apr->param($dirty) == 1) {  # if a given record has changed
		my $ref = ref($apr->param($delete));
		$R->scrib(0,"precommit: ref 330 $ref delete $delete ");
		my $foo = $apr->param($delete);
		$R->scrib(0,"foo $foo");
		$foo = "off" unless $apr->param($delete);
		if ($foo eq "on") {
			... (delete type routine)
		} else {
			... (save type routine)
		}
	}
}

and this is what I get in the log - records 3, 4, and 6 have changed, 3 and
4 are to be deleted, 6 is not, and it dies...

OpenInteract::Handler::GenericDispatcher::_check_task_security (143) >>

OpenInteract::UI::Main::handler (42) >> Action died. Here is what it left:

/var/www/testsite/pkg/dns-0.01/testsite/Handler/Dns.pm line 335.

I hope this isn't too much of a jumble...

Thanks again,

Chris

My first impression is to split out what you're doing (plus use the
right comparison):

 my $is_checked = $apr->param( $delete );
 if ( $is_checked eq 'on' ) {
     ...
 }

Other than that, are you having any other issues with Apache::Request?
