Dear all,

I met a problem with checkboxes.checkboxname.selectedcount.
There are 18 checkboxes in the task, each with one option. I asked people to select 6 checkboxes from the 18. Then I want to get the values of the selected 6 options. I wrote a script as below. However, logic expression values.checkboxselect == "1" is always wrong in the 6 trials below. 
Does anyone know why? Any help or information will be appreciated! 

<item Newoptions>
/ 1 = "<% values.option1        
             
                 %>"
/ 2 ="<% values.option2        
             
                 %>"
/ 3 = "<% values.option3        
             
                 %>"
/ 4 = "<% values.option4        
             
                 %>"
/ 5 = "<% values.option5        
             
                 %>"
/ 6 = "<% values.option6        
             
                 %>"
/ 7 = "<% values.option7        
             
                 %>"
/ 8 = "<% values.option8        
             
                 %>"
/ 9 = "<% values.option9        
             
                 %>"
/ 10 = "<% values.option10        
             
                 %>"
/ 11 = "<% values.option11        
             
                 %>"
/ 12 = "<% values.option12        
             
                 %>"
/ 13 = "<% values.option13        
             
                 %>"
/ 14 = "<% values.option14        
             
                 %>"
/ 15 = "<% values.option15        
             
                 %>"
/ 16 = "<% values.option16        
             
                 %>"
/ 17 = "<% values.option17
