When using checkboxes in forms i find myself doing this <input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="true"> <input type="hidden" name="foo" value="false"> and retrieving the value from the posted form data a bit like this if( checkbox.value == "false" )then bSomeBool = false; else bSomeBool = true; in the "else" case above checkbox.value will equal something along the lines of "true, false". Does anybody think it would be good to allow a checkbox (and similar controls) to be used in a proper toggle sense? e.g. <input type="checkbox" name="foo" toggle="true,false" value="on"> where on/off (or setting checked) would toggle the true/false, and any values can be used in the toggle attribute: <label>Click here if you have a dog <input ... toggle = "Dog owner,No dogs" value="off" ... ></label> I'm only attempting to provoke a discussion here, so dont take my code and attributes too seriously :-) Ric Hardacre http://www.cyclomedia.co.uk/
