How to pass data from selected rows using checkboxes from JSP to the server

[Claudio Alvitez Becerra]

Hi, I'd like to know if there's any way to send data to the server for the selected rows using the checkboxes I've put on those rows? I mean , how can I send only the data of those selected rows to the server? see the image

Here's the html code I use:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr class="tableheader">
      <td width="10%"></td>
      <td width="30%">Vehicle</td>
      <td width="40%">Driver</td>
      <td width="10%">Mileage</td>
     </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <c:forEach items="${list}" var="item">
         <tr>
             <td align="center">
                <input type="checkbox" name="selectedItems" 
                    value="c:out value="${item.numberPlate}"/>"/>
             </td>
             <td align="left"><c:out value="${item.numberPlate}"/></td>
             <td align="left"><c:out value="${item.driver.fullName}" /></td>
             <td align="left"><input type="text" name="mileage" value="" /></td>
          </tr>
     </c:forEach>                       
   </tbody>
</table>

I really hope you can give some guidance on this.

Thanks in beforehand.

Claudio,
Welcome to CodeRanch!

When you say values, you mean the value in the mileage field, right? I recommend using JavaScript to copy the values into a hidden field based on which checkboxes are selected. Alternatively to blank out the non-selected ones.

Something else to think about - how do you want to identify which rows the mileages submitted go with? Order? Key? Something else?

Could you give an example or a page where I can find one??
