AW: [Javascript] checkboxes in array

[Mike Dougherty]

How about this:?

<label for='typ_1'>typ 1:</label>
<input type='checkbox' name='typ[]' id='typ_1' value='1' />
<label for='stck_1'>stck 1:</label>
<input type='text' name='stck[]' id='stck_1' value='4' onFocus="checkIt('typ_1');" />

<label for='typ_2'>typ 2:</label>
<input type='checkbox' name='typ[]' id='typ_2' value='2' />
<label for='stck_2'>stck 2:</label>
<input type='text' name='stck[]' id='stck_2' value='0' onFocus="checkIt('typ_2');" />

[etc.]

<script type='text/javscript'>
function checkIt( tcCBId ) {
   var loCB = document.getElementById( tcCBId );
   if (loCB) {
     loCB.checked = true ;
     }
}
</script>


Note: the use of the <label> tag aids accessibility on the checkbox because you can click the 
label to toggle the checkbox value (rather than the little square of the checkbox itself)  the 
<label> tag also provides a convenient hook for styling - it would be even better if IE understood 
attribute selectors so your CSS could be label[for=typ_1] {rule} but whatever..
