Need Help handling check box values on Save that are not checked

I have seen several posts on this and am still struggling to find a solution that works for me. I several check boxes that I need to loop through on a save. Here is what i have right now. It's an ASP page that is looping through record sets and writing out a lot of check boxes.

I've tried to use the hidden field to pass both "off" and "on" when the box is checked however its coming across on the server side as

off on

    do while not rsHR.eof
    
  idPOS = rsHR.fields("emplid")
  idID = "ID" & idPOS

response.write("<TR>")

response.write("<TD nowrap align=left>&nbsp;" & rsHR.fields("EMPLID") & "</TD>")
response.write("<TD nowrap align=left>&nbsp;" & rsHR.fields("emp_name") & "</TD>")
response.write("<TD nowrap align=left>&nbsp;" & rsHR.fields("EMP_FLOOR") & "</TD>")
response.write("<TD nowrap align=left>&nbsp;" & rsHR.fields("RTO_GROUP") & "</TD>")



response.write("<TD>")
Response.Write("<INPUT type=hidden size=10 " & DisabledProperty & " id=WEEK1    name=" & idPOS & " value='off'><INPUT type=checkbox size=10 " & DisabledProperty & " id=WEEK1    name=" & idPOS & " defaultValue=" & tmp  & " value=" & tmp  & " onchange=week1(" & idID & ")>")
response.write("</TD>")

response.write("<TD>")
Response.Write("<INPUT type=hidden size=10 " & DisabledProperty & " id=WEEK2  name=" & idPOS & " value='off'><INPUT type=checkbox size=10 " & DisabledProperty & " id=WEEK2  name=" & idPOS & " defaultValue=" & tmp  & " value=" & tmp  & " onchange=week2(" & idID & ")>")
response.write("</TD>")



response.write("<TD>")
Response.Write("<INPUT type=hidden size=10 " & DisabledProperty & " id=WEEK3  name=" & idPOS & " value='off'><INPUT type=checkbox size=10 " & DisabledProperty & " id=WEEK3  name=" & idPOS & " defaultValue=" & tmp  & " value=" & tmp  & " onchange=week3(" & idID & ")>")
response.write("</TD>")

I was trying to handle setting the value in javascript with the onchange events but i can't get it to pass the values to my save.

    <SCRIPT ID=clientEventHandlersJS LANGUAGE=javascript>


var idxWEEK1 = 1;
var idxWEEK2 = 2;  
var idxWEEK3  = 3;  
var idxCHG  = 14; 
var idxEID  = 15; 
var btnSubmitPEX = document.formPEX.submitPEX;
var bsubmitingPEXform = 0 


function week1(cntl) {
  var x = document.getElementById("WEEK1").checked;
  document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
  cntl[idxCHG].value = "DIRTY";
  btnSubmitPEX.disabled = false;
}

Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated!

The hidden fields aren't linked to the checkboxes, their values will be submitted whether the checkboxes are checked or not.

Consider this form

<form method="post">
 <input type="hidden" name="myfield" value="off">
 <input type="checkbox" name="myfield" value="on">
 <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

The hidden and checkbox fields have the same name - myfield - so Request.Form("myfield") will have a value of "off" if the box is not checked or "off,on" if it is. If two or more values are received for the same form variable then VBScript will concatenate them with commas.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve but here's a bit of server side code which might give you some ideas.

Dim MyVariable, checkedstatus
If Request.Form("myfield") = "on" then
  MyVariable = "on"
  checkedstatus = "checked"
Else
  MyVariable = "off"
  checkedstatus = ""
End If

Response.Write "<form method=""post"">" & vbcrlf      
Response.Write "  <input "& checkedstatus &" type=""checkbox"" name=""myfield"" value=""on"">" & vbcrlf
Response.Write "  <input type=""submit"" value=""Submit"">" & vbcrlf
Response.Write "</form><br>" & vbcrlf
Response.Write MyVariable
