Multiple Page Check Box Handling

Question

In GMail, the mails are listed. When we we have lots of mails (ex:50), we can select and go to next page, select some more mail, and come back to page 1. But whatever mails the user checked will still be checked.

I just want to implement the same operation. How would I do that?

Thanks, Krish

Note: I don't want to use AJAX. I'd rather use Javascript, CGI, PERL, etc.

Answer 1

1. <input type="checkbox" onclick="toggleValue(this)"> and in handler check the value and store it in array.

2. JQuery

$('input[type=checkbox].mail').click(
    function()
    {
        if (this.checked) $(this).addClass('checked');
        else $(this).removeClass('checked');
    }
);
$('input[type=checkbox].mail.checked').each(function_here);

Can have some typos in the second one...

PS: don't know why, but the code above is not being formatted (
