Re: Webserver: How to cater for dynamic sets of radio buttons?

I don't have already try this but
I'm working with PL/SQL packages that generate HTML pages; I'm have the same problem but with checkboxes. The user checks the checkbox when he wants that one of his publications (stocked in a table) appears in his Curriculum. I don't know how many checkboxes are produced by the cursor and , of course, how many checkboxes will be checked.

I asked how to manage this in the newsgroup and the answer was : 'use PL/SQL table'. I have studied the PL/SQL tables in the manual and I think I can soluce my problem with a PL/SQL table.

I just can say : "Read your manual at the PL/SQL Table chapter".

HTH, and, please, mail me if it work (or don't ;)

PS: sorry for my (probably) bad english...
