If your form has a lot of checkboxes, which DO NOT exist in the FORM struct if they are not selected, you may want to also pass a hidden field with a list of checkbox field names you can use on the subsequent page;
<input type="hidden" name="checkboxfields" value="mycheckboxfield1,mycheckboxfield2,mycheckboxfield3"> Then loop over THIS list, to create default params for fields which may not exist in the FORM Struct. If the checkboxes on the form are not dynamic, you could also just hardcode this list into a loop on the processing page...
