Hi all and Alexey, HTML forms always had the problem that checkboxes get not submitted when they are not checked. This leads to E_NOTICEs in the best or program errors in the worst case if this cases are not checked properly. I think QF2 should make programming with forms easy, and that means that the value of a checkbox should be either boolean true or false - no matter what the HTML form specifics say. This could be solved in two ways: 1) adding a hidden field before the checkbox, with the same name and value of "0" 2) programmatically fix the value when using getValue(). Thoughts? -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -=≡ Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 ≡=-
