Note that one of them is hidden and its name begins with an underscore. That element is created so that FormHelper can decide how to set the checkbox value if you submit and for some reason (eg. validation fails) and your form is re-displayed. FormHelper needs to know what the default value was. Or something like that. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
