Validation failing, and loosing data input in checkbox

Hi,
In my form is a repeated table area, which outputs checkboxes for each record in a particular table.
In my form I have added validation, where a price has to be inputted as an integer, when the validation fails, using the excellent video tutorial on the site, I have set my form up so for all select and text boxes, the data is retained on the form. However, I cannot do the same with my repeated table checkboxes.
When I try and select the value in dreamweaver to make the field checked/unchecked, the repeated checkboxes do not show in the list of available fields. Presumably because the fields are in a repeated table?
I'm at a loss as to what to do. Will I need to play with the code, or does data assist accommodate this?
Thanks and look forward to your reply,
Aled

This is what I have cmome up with so far. Think I'm missing something.

<?php
// RepeatSelectionCounter_2 Begin Loop
$RepeatSelectionCounter_2_IterationsRemaining = $RepeatSelectionCounter_2_Iterations;
while($RepeatSelectionCounter_2_IterationsRemaining--){
if($RepeatSelectionCounterBasedLooping_2 || $row_WADAMenuarea_key){
?>
<p>
<input type="hidden" name="area_mihidden_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_2; ?>" id="area_mihidden_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_2; ?>" value="1" />
<input name="area_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_2; ?>" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $row_WADAMenuarea_key['area_key']; ?>" <?php if (!(strcmp($RepeatSelectionCounter_2, (ValidatedField("addnewproperty_246","area")))))
{echo "checked";}
?>/>
<?php echo $row_WADAMenuarea_key['area_name']; ?></p>
<?php
} // RepeatSelectionCounter_2 Begin Alternate Content
else{
?>

Hi,

Just in case anyone else has this issue, here is how I've got it to work:

<li>
<label for="property_type">Property Type</label>
<table>
<?php
// RepeatSelectionCounter_3 Begin Loop
$RepeatSelectionCounter_3_IterationsRemaining = $RepeatSelectionCounter_3_Iterations;
$counter = 0;
while($RepeatSelectionCounter_3_IterationsRemaining--){

if ($counter == 4){
echo "</tr><tr>";
$counter=0;
}
$counter = $counter + 1;
if($RepeatSelectionCounterBasedLooping_3 || $row_WADAMenutype_key){
?>
<td><p>
<input type="hidden" name="type_mihidden_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_3; ?>" id="type_mihidden_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_3; ?>" value="1" />
<input name="type_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_3; ?>" type="checkbox" id="type_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_3; ?>" value="<?php echo $row_WADAMenutype_key['type_key']; ?>" <?php if ((strcmp($RepeatSelectionCounter_3, (ValidatedField("addnewproperty_246","type_" . $RepeatSelectionCounter_3)))) == -1)
{echo "checked";}
?>/>
<?php echo $row_WADAMenutype_key['type_name']; ?></p></td>
<?php
} // RepeatSelectionCounter_3 Begin Alternate Content
else{
?>
<?php } // RepeatSelectionCounter_3 End Alternate Content
if(!$RepeatSelectionCounterBasedLooping_3 && $RepeatSelectionCounter_3_IterationsRemaining != 0){
if(!$row_WADAMenutype_key && $RepeatSelectionCounter_3_Iterations == -1){$RepeatSelectionCounter_3_IterationsRemaining = 0;}
$row_WADAMenutype_key = mysql_fetch_assoc($WADAMenutype_key);
}
$RepeatSelectionCounter_3++;
} // RepeatSelectionCounter_3 End Loop
?>
</tr>

</table>
</li>

Right, ignore the last post, THIS is how I got it to work.

<input name="type_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_3; ?>" type="checkbox" id="type_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_3; ?>" value="<?php echo $row_WADAMenutype_key['type_key']; ?>" <?php
if ((strcmp($RepeatSelectionCounter_3+1, (ValidatedField("addnewproperty_246","type_" . $RepeatSelectionCounter_3)))) == 0)
{echo "checked";}
?>/>
<?php echo $row_WADAMenutype_key['type_name']; ?>

Yeah, you need to include the dynamic variable that controls the checkbox name in the validated entries binding code. glad to hear you found it.

Thanks Jason, is how I've done it the correct way? Just want to make sure I haven't "hacked" it too much.

yes, it looks correct to me.
