The value is held in the value= portion of the cfinput tag and can be
referenced after a submit as form.name where name is the name= portion of
the cfinput tag.
<cfinput checked=#chk# type="Checkbox" NAME="location"
VALUE=#intLocationID#> #strLocationName#, #strStateAbvrIDFK#
If you have several dynamically generated checkboxes (which sounds more like
what you were asking) and you want a quick check you can do the following.
May be more useful on a validation page
<cfif listLen(location) eq 0>
code here (i.e. tell the user they must check at least one check box)
<cfelse>
other code (process the boxes that were checked)
</cfif>
or you can use this (more likely on a processing page)
<cfif #IsDefined("form.location")#>
<cfloop index="LName" list=#form.location#>
processing code here
</cfloop>
</cfif>
You could set the value initially to "no" with a cfparam then if the
checkbox gets checked, the value will get changed to the value in the
cfinput tag but given the above examples, this seems like a waste of time.
Not sure exactly what you're looking for, if none of the responses you've
gotten so far have helped, rephrase your question and give an example / some
code. If you get your answer, post a thanks so people won't keep trying to
answer. An example / code may lead to other options like radio buttons etc.

I always use ifDefined("form.checkbox") to see if the box was checked.
Using CFParam seems (very slightly) more error prone to me.

I am trying to pass a value if when a box is selected. Right now I use a
CFPARAM default ="". On submit it looks like it does something even though
it really does not.

Anyone have a good method in CF for validating checkboxes (grouped).
