I am using version 6.25 Business Edition
I have created an html page for users to subscribe to our mailing lists.

I have the email working if only one checkbox is checked. If I have two or more the group= is listed multiple times in the body (one for each checkmark). This means that the web form handler in MLK doesn't process anything but the last item.

Any ideas on how to make this work?

A copy of my email is below:
Full Name=mike baugh
Company=HKS Medical Information Systems
Email=mbaugh@hksys.com
Group=OTTRAdmin1
Group=OTTRAdmin2
action=Subscribe

The html is as follows:

<form action="mailto:hkslistserver@hksys.com?subject=Web Form Submission" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<table><tr><td>
To join our mailing lists, please enter your full name, center name and email address. Also select which lists you would like to subscribe to and then click subscribe.<p>Name:
<INPUT NAME="Full Name" TYPE="text" VALUE="" SIZE=40 MAXLENGTH=50>
<BR><br />
Center:
<INPUT NAME="Company" TYPE="text" VALUE="" SIZE=100 MAXLENGTH=200>
<BR><br />
Email:
<INPUT NAME="Email" TYPE="text" VALUE="" SIZE=50 MAXLENGTH=100>
<BR><br />

<input type = "checkbox" NAME="Group" VALUE="OTTRAdmins">
OTTR Admins - Information aimed towards OTTR Administrators <BR>
<input type = "checkbox" NAME="Group" VALUE="OTTRAdmin1">
OTTR Admins 1 - OTTR Admin 1 Training information and follow-up<BR>
<input type = "checkbox" NAME="Group" VALUE="OTTRAdmin2">
OTTR Admins 2 - OTTR Admin 2 Training information and follow-up<BR>
<input type = "checkbox" NAME="Group" VALUE="OTTRAdmin3">
OTTR Admins 3 - OTTR Admin 3 Training information and follow-up<BR>
<input type = "checkbox" NAME="Group" VALUE="OTTRsales">
OTTR Sales - OTTR Sales, product and general newsflash information<BR>
<input type = "checkbox" NAME="Group" VALUE="OTTRsupport">
OTTR Support - OTTR technical information<BR>
<input type = "checkbox" NAME="Group" VALUE="OTTRusers">
OTTR Users - General information for all users and clinical information<BR>
</p>
</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" value="Subscribe" NAME="action" class="blankbuttonwide">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear" NAME="cancel" class="blankbuttonwide">

</td></tr></table>
</FORM>

Any help is greatly appreciated

many thanks

No worries. There are a few systems that do this, so it should be useful for other users too.

Hi Mike

For v6.26 I will look at adding an option to support cgi scripts that replicate the field in this way.
