Some questions about checkbox groups:

What’s the function used to store the multiple value in the DB? (I’ll use it to print into an e-mail the submitted values)
In wich php template or file are they generated? (trying to fix the blank lines problem in Explorer)

thanks

hi,

solved the strange “Internet explore blank lines before checkbox group” problem.

in file Dataface.php in HTML/QuickForm/Renderer/Dataface around line 108

changed this way

//$separator = ‘ ’;
$separator = ‘’;

hope is useful for someone

Thanks for this, cino.

I have applied this to the source for both 0.5.x and 0.6, so that any future releases will incorporate this.

Hi Jitendra,

What kind of field are you using for the service_port_range field? If you want to store multiple values it should be a varchar or a text field. If it is any other type of field, then it can only be either “on” or “off” rather than containing multiple values checked.
