No solution other than the ones you mentioned, that I'm aware of. What we've done is generally a hidden field that gets fiddled with via JavaScript when the checkbox is changed. Then the back-end code just looks at the hidden field, and can be totally oblivious to what's really going on in the HTML. Yup, seems stupid to me, each time I run into it again, too. I'd be curious if someone has come up with something better. Doubtful, though. good luck philipp _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
