Scripting - Multiple Checkbox Variables - Help required

nerdweed · Post by **nerdweed** » 25 Sep 2014 14:09

I am having a script with multiple settings. Currently, I am presenting this settings in separate prompts - inputselect with checkbox

$g_rating = "1|2|+3|+4|5" ;
$rating = inputselect("Display files with ratings", $g_rating , |, 2, );
$options = "Green|+Yellow|Blue" ;
$cat = inputselect ("Choose Categories", $options, "|", 2,);
$current = "+Consider Ratings|Modified Recently|Consider Labels" ;
$setting = inputselect ("Settings", $current, "|", 2, , , , "Settings");

I trust this can be consolidated into a single html form. Any help with presenting this in a single form and separating the output would be great.

I've written several scripts that use a html form to present options.

E.g.: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12364

or a more simple one:

and Stefan wrote a tutorial for displaying forms in html:
