cfinput type=checkbox

[Dax_Trajero]

I expected the checkbox to send a true or false , but it appears if it's not checked it doesn't get sent in the form collection ?

so instead of checking if form.checkbox EQ "Y" , instead I do this

if isDefined("form.checkbox")

is this correct ?

if isDefined("form.checkbox")

structKeyExists() is more robust than isDefined(), but that's the general idea, yeah.

It's one of the ways that work.  Others include StructKeyExists or hidden form fields.
