Ack, that code is so 1993. Even HTML 2.0 (circa 1994) required a value attribute. > But yet the asp server code handles it properly. Your browser fills in an empty value when it encodes the GET or POST. The server code is just looking for the existance of the name, as unchecked checkboxes are not even present in the GET/POST data. > However, the mechanize "agent->tick" function requires that > some value be set!!!

Did you try $agent->field(Monday=>"foo")? Not sure if you can add a field in Mech that doesn't exist, but there may be a way to do it. Good luck. - Mark.
