Tri-State Check Box

[Rob T]

I need to make a tri-state check box. (It's values will be off,
checked-always on, or 1-run once)

Would I be correct in assuming the best way to do this is to make some kind
of custom control that displays a "checkbox". The control would have JS in
it to change a graphic image that represents the box. If this is the case,
how would I read in the selected value once the form is posted? I'm
planning on having a couple on the same form and I really don't want to
autopost when each box is clicked on...too much overhead...

Thanks.

Use the JS to set a hidden field with an appropriate value.

Good idea...I could program the control to create a hidden field (with a
unique ID) for each checkbox...then just have a little routine to loop
through all the Request.Form items....

Thanks.
