Hi pablo,

I am creating a form which allow user to select a multiple selection at once. I am using check boxes. For Example checkbox 1 = creche; checkbox 2= praiseandworship; checkbox 3 = refreshment. After the user make the selection, I want the email autoresponder to only send the selected checkbox. For example, user selected checkbox 1, when the email being send to the user, it should only show the creche.

The following is the sample of respond being sent from the email autoresponder. Any idea what have I done wrong?

creche
$praiseandworship
$refreshment

The browser will only include the values of checked checkboxes. Other data will not be posted.
This is covered in the W3C HTML 4 recommendation:

If you need different behavior then you will have to implement a script to process the data yourself.
