The link I used above is a relative link. So, I can't merely add <code>mydomain.com/machform/</code> to it, since the directory obviously doesn't exist on my website's server...</p> <p>Not sure where to go from here. Will wait a few hours and see if the guys pick this up. Thx again kind sirs <code>:]</code> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/pass-a-value-into-checkbox-field#post-17841 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:30:06 +0000 williamansley 17841@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>@ronaldconring: you need to put backticks around code examples in this form for them to be visible as text.</p> <p>@conceive: I have no idea what the correct form of the URL you are using should be and I was in a hurry yesterday, so I just copied what you posted, but now that I look at your example more closely, it doesn't seem to be structured properly. The URL should be something like this:</p> <p><code><a href="https://www.example.com/machform/view.php?id=13643&#38;element_1_2=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.example.com/machform/view.php?id=13643&#38;element_1_2=1</a></code></p> <p>Where you would replace <code><a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow">www.example.com</a></code> with your domain. If you are using a form embedded in a PHP page, then what I am describing may not be applicable and you have gone beyond my small sphere of expertise. I would suggest contacting Appnitro directly for assistance if yuniar or redityo doesn't respond to this forum message soon. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/pass-a-value-into-checkbox-field#post-17839 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:15:13 +0000 ronaldconring 17839@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Try this ... <code>&lt;a href=&quot;machform/view.php?id=17026&#38;element_7_37=1&quot;&gt;SUBSCRIBE&lt;/a&gt;</code> and see if it works. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/pass-a-value-into-checkbox-field#post-17826 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 08:24:06 +0000 conceive 17826@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Ok, that makes more sense. Thx.</p> <p>But I am still getting a page without my form and totally unformatted. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/pass-a-value-into-checkbox-field#post-17824 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 05:25:06 +0000 williamansley 17824@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>You reference the form elements by id only when using URL parameters (ignore any label text) and you make a check box active by setting the value to 1. So I think this should work for you:</p> <p><code>&lt;a href=&quot;61-Main-Subscribe.php/view.php?id=17026&#38;element_7_37=1&quot;&gt;SUBSCRIBE&lt;/a&gt;</code> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/pass-a-value-into-checkbox-field#post-17817 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 04:35:08 +0000 conceive 17817@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thx for the tip! I'm trying to populate checkboxes [fyi]. I tried it according to the instructions and wound up with the following relative link which, when clicked, gives me the page totally unformatted and no form!</p> <p><code>&lt;a href=&quot;61-Main-Subscribe.php/view.php?id=17026&amp;amp;element_7_37=to%20receive%20the%20quarterly%20Municipal%20Market%20Report&quot;&gt;SUBSCRIBE&lt;/a&gt;</code></p> <p>I wasn't really sure, did I do correctly by using the checkbox value to be the value for the URL with <code>%20</code> between each word in the string? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/pass-a-value-into-checkbox-field#post-17811 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 01:09:11 +0000 williamansley 17811@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>@conceive: Below is a link to your starting point.
