I am using the following code.<input name="RecievedNotification" type="checkbox" id="RecievedNotification" value = "<%If RecievedNotification = "-1" Then Response.Write("checked=""checked""") : Response.Write("")%>" />Is this correct? If it is why is the check not visible? If not correct please help.CheersRaghu

<input name="RecievedNotification" type="checkbox" id="RecievedNotification" value = "<%If RecievedNotification = "-1" Then Response.Write("checked=""checked""") : Response.Write("")%>" />Is this correct? If it is why is the check not visible? If not correct please help.

Its not correct, it produces invalid HTML. The resulting HTML will look like this:

<input name="RecievedNotification" type="checkbox" id="RecievedNotification" value = "" />or<input name="RecievedNotification" type="checkbox" id="RecievedNotification" value = "checked="checked"" />

That's obviously not right because value and checked are two distinct attributes.You want this instead:

<input name="RecievedNotification" type="checkbox" id="RecievedNotification" value="y" <%If RecievedNotification = "-1" Then Response.Write("checked=""checked""") : Response.Write("")%>" />

works better. Thanks for the tip. I experimented.CheersRaghu
