Ive only ever used that method when posting a form to a processing page & having the page throw one of my server-side validation routine errors. When an error is encountered I include the original form below my validation routines, on the validating page. To preserve what the user already entered, instead of the values defaulting back to normal. When a checkbox is present I use that same checkbox method with one exception. Heres the code I use to check to see if the checkbox wuz checked or not: <CFIF IsDefined("Form.CheckboxName")> <CFSET Checked="TRUE"> <CFELSE> <CFSET Checked="FALSE"> </CFIF> Then I can check the checkbox on the original form page or not depending on if the user checked it before the error occured when posting the form. You have the rest of my code that I use to do this in my last post.
