Dynamic checkbox ignored when posting

[Mark]

Hi - when I add (dynamically) a row to a table, which includes a
checkbox, I want the value of the checkbox to be posted along with the
other controls already on the form when the form is submitted.

I can get this to work no problem on IE6, but in NN7, although the
checkbox is added to my screen, when posted (submit on form), the
checkbox is ignored. The checkbox is added within the form.

Any ideas?

function addRowaddFact (cb_strval) {
var table;
table = document.getElementById('tbladdFact');
if (table && table.insertRow) {
var row = table.insertRow(table.rows.length);
var cell = row.insertCell(0);

cell.innerHTML = '<input checked
type="checkbox" name="cbaddFact" value="' + cb_strval +
'"\/>'+cb_strval;
}
}

Hello,

Are the checkboxes being added to the form being posted?

If they still don't get posted, try to change the posting mechanism...use a
hidden variable that will encode all the needed values whenever you post the
form, then the server page will read its info from this hidden field instead
of the checkboxes.

I don't think NN likes the innerHTML.
Use createElement, appendChild and real DOM methods.
