Adding multiple checkbox values

[ID10Terror]

Hi:

I was wondering if it is possible to add the value of checkboxes.

<INPUT type=checkbox name=test01 CHECKED value=1>
<INPUT type=checkbox name=test01 CHECKED value=2>
<INPUT type=checkbox name=test01 CHECKED value=4>
<INPUT type=checkbox name=test01 CHECKED value=8>

If the user clicked the second (value=2) and third (value=4) check boxes,
when the submit button is clicked, the sum of all "test01" boxes is sent.
In this example, test01=6 would be sent. Is this possible or do I have to
use javascript or something else. I need to avoid the test01=2, 4 I am
currently getting.

Any and all help would greatly be appreciated.


Thanks

It is possible AND you have to use javascript or something else.

Basically, what you need is a custom server-side form handler. If you can
program with ASP, PHP, or some other server-side technology, you can
certainly write one.
