how to delete multiple checkbox data ( like yahoo mail )

whoaaaaaa, how open ended can you ask a question?

I am going to assume, because I am incredibly intelligent and I can read your mind, that these checkboxes are linked to database records.

What you do is give each checkbox the same name and the value of the checkbox is a unique identifier for the row, most likely an ID value. Lets use the name "personIds"

When you submit the page, all checked checkboxes will submit their ID value and you can retrieve them using:

String[] personIds = request.getParameterValues("personIds");

So now we have all the IDs that we want to delete. You can generate your SQL query like this:

delete from Person where personId in( ... )

and between the ( ) you output all the IDs in the array, seperated by a comma.

I hope I have given you some idea.
