When you submit the form it should contain all of the checkboxes that have been selected. Not sure what you are looking for exactly.

hi, eric , say i have many row in table, i want to make check box beside on each row , when user select it , and after user click delete , then the row been selected can be delete or erase ..

[Eric Pascarello]

JavaScript will only make this a temporary delete. Is that what you are after?

[Alvin chew]

nope, eric, after user select the checkbox that for deletion, i want to make it permanent deletion to be happen ..

[Eric Pascarello]

Then you are going to have to use server side code since JavaScript can not make it permanent.

In one of my previous project there was a requirement like this ..

A jsp displays a database table for each row a check box is provided ..
so that onSubmit all the rows corresponding to the selected checkboxes should get deleted from the DB ( some thing like a email).

This was our solution
The check boxes were created in runtime by the jsp ( each row has a check box).
The name of each check box is the value of the primary key from the table.
When any chek box is selected a hidden textfield is updated with this NAME OF THE selected check box
At last the hidden text will have comma seperated values that corresponds to the selected values in check box like this ( 1,2,3,4, )
On Submit this comma seperated value is passed to a stored procedure that deletes all the selected records.
