  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Is anyone available to help?

pretty please?🙂

Hi acaddy,

There are several things here:

All form inputs must have 'name' attributes, yours don't so teh HTML is techncally illegal and probably won't work in ChronoForms which uses the names to identify the inputs.

If you want to have your checkboxes work in groups then all the boxes in a group must share an array name like checkboxes_1[] (they should though have unique ids).

You should set "ChronoForms handle my posted arrays:" in the for General Tab to 'Yes'

In the email template put
Some name: {checkboxes_1}

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your help!

I've assigned each input an name and made sure the "ChronoForms handle my posted arrays:" option was set to "Yes".

However, I don't understand arrays. Would you please elaborate a little more?

Thank you!!!

checkbox's should look like this:

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_checkbox">
    <label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">Click Me to Edit</label>
    <div class="float_left">
      <input value="check 1" title="" class="radio" id="check00" name="check0[]" type="checkbox" />
      <label for="check00" class="check_label">check 1</label>
      <br />
      <input value="check 2" title="" class="radio" id="check01" name="check0[]" type="checkbox" />
      <label for="check01" class="check_label">check 2</label>
      <br />
      <input value="check 3" title="" class="radio" id="check02" name="check0[]" type="checkbox" />
      <label for="check02" class="check_label">check 3</label>
      <br />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

Your email code would look like this:

Click Me to Edit: {check0}
