Re: ***** <input TYPE="checkbox"> issue -- WEB400

You need to wrap your form values in the escape() function, as in the
following:

  var parms = "&co="      + escape(Form1.co.value) +
              "&ioc="     + escape(Form1.ioc.value) +
              "&rating="  + escape(Form1.rating.value) +
              "&reptyp="  + escape(Form1.reptyp.value) ;

Thanks Sarah.  I understand your explanation of the checkbox  and its 
behavior with the browser. The issue is that it does not matter if I check
it or not, the value is 
TRUE, always TRUE, no matter what I do.  I also tested your recomendation 
to use "GET" but with no sucess.

To give you all an idea of how thigns are rolling, this is the code:

===============================================

%HTML(INPUT) {
<html>
<head>


<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

function setParms() {

alert(Form1.rating.value);

  var base = "../Top20CusSum/report?";

  var parms = "&co="      + Form1.co.value +
              "&ioc="     + Form1.ioc.value +
              "&rating="  + Form1.rating.value +
              "&reptyp="  + Form1.reptyp.value ;

  adr  = base + parms;

}
// -->
</script>


<style>
<!--
BODY {font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; 
font-size:x-small}
TABLE {font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; 
font-size:x-small}
-->
</style>

</head>

<body>

        ... some page headings

<form METHOD="POST" action="javascript:location.href=adr" name="Form1">

        ... some headings

        <input type=checkbox name="rating">

        <input type="submit" value="Display Statistics" name="B1" 
onClick="setParms();">

</form>
</body>
</html>

It is incredible (based on the beginner knowledge I have) that 
Form1.rating.value is always TRUE...
