Hi
I was wondering if people might post their suggestions for capturing
form data when the <input> tag is a checkbox. In this case case the
server has no way of knowing that the checkbox was on the form because
the browser doesn't include the checkbox in the request if it's not
checked.
In this particular application, provision is made for end users to
create their own data capture forms, place them on the server and
either email the submissions to central command or write them to a
text file.
The web application uses the key/value pairs to list the data either
in the email body, e.g.:
frm_surname: Pike
frm_firstname: Magnus
etc.
Where checkboxes are concerned they would like to see:
frm_requestmailing: No
. . . instead this line omitted because the browser simply doesn't
sent any value for an unchecked checkbox and the server doesn't know
the form structure so it can't 'inject' the key/value pair itself.
One workaround is to use 'yes-no' radio buttons, but the customer
would prefer checkboxes simply because their customers do.
Any tips on dealing with this would be appreciated.
Peter
