Re^2: Perl Mason2 jquery get the value of a checkbox

how do you put the value of said form field into the Perl variable.?

<input type="checkbox" id = "has_sidebar" name="cb" value="" onclick="
+result=$(this).attr('value', this.checked ? 1 : 0); alert('my result 
+: ' + result.context.value);" >
[download]

here RESULT has the value of the checkbox(0 or 1)

how do i PUT that in a perl variable?

sorry if that is a basic question.

By setting the `value` of your input that has `name="cb"` to something sensible. For example to `1`. Then, when it’s checked, it will send that as part of the form, and when unchecked, it won’t send anything (its `name` won’t be present in the form data unless there are multiple elements with the same name and at least one of them is checked). You absolutely don’t even need JavaScript for this. As for catching the form data in Mason — no idea, I’ve never used Mason. Its documentation surely talks about how to deal with data sent via forms.
