Hi Nathan, thanks for the response. I checked the old threads (like

http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/35c5708111d173ae/7d12923e4643a3ed?lnk=gst&q=ajax+checkbox#7d12923e4643a3ed)
and see this is an old issue. In fact, I complained of this a long
time ago in a separate post. I'll try your fix and report back.
