Checkbox Post without Commas

I almost figured this problem out. I'm new to .asp, and I've been self taught.

The problem that I am having is when I select multiple checkboxes on my form and post them to my mail server as the body of the e-mail, the values are being seperated by a comma. I need the values to be seperated by a <br>. I have found some code that will do just that, but it will only write them to the screen. I can't figure out how to send what I write to the screen to my e-mail.

Here is the code I am working with.

Code:

<%



strHost = "mail.host.org"



If Request("Send") <> "" Then

   Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")



   

   Mail.Host = strHost



   Mail.From = Request("From")

   Mail.FromName = Request("FromName")

   Mail.AddAddress Request("To")



   

   Mail.Subject = Request("Subject")

   

   Mail.Body = Request("checkbox")

   strErr = ""

   bSuccess = False

   On Error Resume Next 

   Mail.Send 

   If Err <> 0 Then 

      strErr = Err.Description

   else

      bSuccess = True

   End If

End If



%>



<body>

<% 

If Len(Request("checkbox")) > 0 Then

  For Each item in Request("checkbox")

  newVar = newVar & item & "<br>"

  Next

  Response.Write(newVar)

  End If

%>

<FORM Name="mail" METHOD="POST" ACTION="sample.asp">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="To" value="mail@host.org">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Subject" value="Test">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="From" value="mail@host.org">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="FromName" value="Name">



<table width="100%">

 <tr>

  <td><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="TEST1">

  District202</td>

  <td><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="TEST2">

  D202Webmaster</td>

  <td><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="TEST3">

  TestList</td></tr>

<tr><td colspan=3>

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Send" VALUE="Send Message">

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

</FORM>

</body>

Mail.Body = Replace(Request("checkbox"),",","<btr>")

Try that.

Try that.

That removed the comma but replaced it with a <btr> tag.

ie.

Test1<btr> Test2

Is there a way to set the send request up so that it sends the e-mail in HTML format, maybe then this solution will work?

first off, i think <btr> was a typo and it should be <br>

however, if you are sending the email in text format, you may want to try this instead:

Code:



Mail.Body = Replace(Request("checkbox"),",",vbCrLf)

Nevermind, I figured out how to set it up to send HTML email

Code:

Mail.IsHTML = True

Thanks for your help ublguy
