I believe the behavior you are seeing is the correct behavior. If you submit
the form without the checkbox being checked,
you should see this in your params:
{"interface => {:isTrusted => '0'}} #=> As determined from
<input type="hidden"/>
If you have the checkbox checked, then the <input type="checkbox"/> should
take priority:
{:interface => {:isTrusted => '1'}}
Unlike normal text fields, checkboxes' values do not get submitted UNLESS
they are checked, but hiddens always do, so its a bit of an HTML hack. This
is mainly for submitting a default value though "0", so if its not needed,
you can get rid of the hidden field. And I believe the behavior of Rails is
to overwrite the params with the latest value for a certain key (as opposed
to the first value it finds for "isTrusted").
Hope that helps. I've always had issues with checkboxes. Finicky things they
can be!
