jsp page checkbox issue

[Melisa Mitchell]

I have a checkbox that has a default value of CHECKED. When the user unchecks this box and clicks calculate and the page reloads with the changed data, the checkbox is turned back on. How do i stop this?

 <% if (summaryLevelData) { %>
    <TD class="contentext" align="left">
<input type="checkbox" name="reinvest" value="1" CHECKED="CHECKED"<%=(cashFlowBean.getReinvest() == 1?"CHECKED":"")%>>
</input><%=Language.getLabel("AUTOINVEST",request)%></TD>
<% } %>   

it enters the changes into the database, so 1 is on and 0 is off, but like i said when the calculate button is hit and the page reloads the check box is set to checked again.. any ideas?

You need to add conditional logic to the page to emit the checked attribute or not based upon its previous setting.

also, please avoid the usage of scriptlet. you can use JSTL tags.. it is really simple and beauty

What if there is an onclick? I have one, and when I click to turn off the checkbox the page reloads, but then puts the check mark back..

I don't see what the onclick has to do with it. When the page reloads (regardless of how), if the checked-"checked" is hard-coded onto the page, the box will be checked.

Indeed!
