how to make a checkbox act as a gomenu

[pipesportugal]

Hi dear colleagues from the VH forum,

Basically I would like to ask the forum if someone can give me a suggestion of the way a making a checkbox behave like the gomenu, meaning when You click it, behave as if a submit button has been hit.

Thanks in advance for all the suggestions,

I'm not sre what would the purpose of it be. Anyway, IF it needs to act as a submit button, (which, I suppose, means that there is a form in the page with more fields, that you need to submit) do this:

Create a NON selected checkbox in your page.
Capture the checkbox image and save it as image in your computer.
Now go back in BV and insert an Image Button in your form. When asked for the image to use, select the image you just saved.
At this point, the image (the checkbox image) will behave as a submit button for the form it belongs to.

Hi naval thank You for Your suggestion,

Maybe it could work even though it would force me to make both images of active and not active checkbox.

I have seen it working (without images envolved) in some websites, and I always thought it had something to do with javascript.

I will make some more tests and after I am done I will bring my feedback to the forum.

I don't se why you need the second image. I mean, as soon as you click on the "unchecked" image, since it acts as "submit", it will send the user to the processing script / page. So there will not even be enough time for the visitor to see the "checked" image, unless you use a rolover instead, as "submit", in which case the "checked" image will be visible for a second or two. However in that case it would show the "checked" image also on mouseover.

Re: how to make a checkbox act as a gomenu

Hi Naval,

I wanted to use the checkbox to filter records from a list of customers so that I could list the Associates/NonAssociates).
I have some gomenus on this filter area where the operator can choose District, Activity, type, etc,etc.
In those gomenus I created the urls such as list_customers.php?district=Lisbon&activity=constr uction& etc,etc,etc.

I wanted to filter and see those that were Associate/NoAssociates, for that purpose I wanted to create a checkbox that could have the same effect as the gomenu(maybe with javascript), so I needed to check and uncheck the checkbox wether I wanted to see only the associates, or only the non associates.

I decided to follow the gomenu approach also on this situation because I also wanted to see Associates/NonAssociates/ALL, so I created a gomenu with the appropriate urls list_customers.php?district=Lisbon&activity=constr uction&associate=yes (no/ALL).

Thank You for Your help.
