It works if all of the checkboxes are checked. But if one of the above checkboxes is not marked, I get an error. How do I make a <cfif> statement to see if the box is checked? Here is the code for the email after the <cfmail> tag: CODE Scope of Practice: #Form.ScopeOfPractice1# #Form.ScopeOfPractice2# #Form.ScopeOfPractice3# #Form.ScopeOfPractice4# #Form.ScopeOfPractice5# #Form.ScopeOfPractice6# #Form.ScopeOfPractice7# #Form.ScopeOfPractice8# #Form.ScopeOfPractice9# And here is the relevant code for the webpage that the user sees: CODE <cfoutput> Thank you! Below is the information you sent:<br><br> Scope of Practice: #Form.ScopeOfPractice1# #Form.ScopeOfPractice2# #Form.ScopeOfPractice3# #Form.ScopeOfPractice4# #Form.ScopeOfPractice5# #Form.ScopeOfPractice6# #Form.ScopeOfPractice7# #Form.ScopeOfPractice8# #Form.ScopeOfPractice9# </cfoutput>

Either use IsDefined() to determine if they exist before using them, or use <cfparam> to define default a value for them. But I think what you want here is to give all the checkboxes on the form the same name. The checked values will be submitted as a comma delimited list that you can loop through. CODE FORM <p>Scope of Practice (check all that apply):<br> <input type="checkbox" name="ScopeOfPractice" Value="ER"> ER <input type="checkbox" name="ScopeOfPractice" Value="Inpatient"> Inpatient <input type="checkbox" name="ScopeOfPractice" Value="Newborns"> Newborns <input type="checkbox" name="ScopeOfPractice" Value="NursingHome"> Nursing Home<br> ..... ACTION PAGE <cfparam name="FORM.scopeOfPractice" default=""> <cfif listLen(FORM.scopeOfPractice)> The boxes you checked are:<br> <cfoutput> <cfloop list="#FORM.scopeOfPractice#" index="theScope"> #theScope#<br> </cfloop> </cfoutput> <cfelse> Sorry, you didn't check anything </cfif>
