Some elements have special behaviors, for example checkboxes or radios, and override onQuickFormEvent(). Basically, first we check for constants, then default values, then submitted values. If the element finds a submitted value, then it uses it. As your form uses GET method and the field has the same name, then it uses this value. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
