Robert,
Since the box is either "checked" or "Unchecked" that's all you need. You don't really need to worry about the value at all. If the form field shows up then the user checked the box. That's how checkboxes work. Subscribe To Newsletter? <cfif structKetyExists(form,'maillist')>Yes<cfelse>No</cfif> Notice I use structkey exists. Also you do not need pound signs around #form.mailist# unless you intend for it to be displayed :) Here's another approach for you. In the checkbox attributes set value="1" (instead of zero). Then wherever you set up default values add this cfparam. <cfparam name="form.maillist" default="0"/> Then you can leverage the YesNoFormat( ) function of CF... Subscribe To e-Newsletter? #yesNoFormat(form.maillist)# Good luck!

I'm kind of stuck on the conditional. I have a newsletter signup form that includes a check box that is check by default. <label for="mailList"><input checked="checked" id="mailList" name="mailList" tabindex="14" type="checkbox" value="0" width="5px" /><span class="checkbox">I would like to receive your e-newsletter.</span></label> I'm trying to email the answer, yes or no, based on whether or not the box is checked. Here is the conditional code between my <cfmail></cfmail> tags. Subscribe to e-newsletter? <cfif isDefined("form.mailList") AND Len(form.mailList)><cfif NOT Compare(#form.mailList#,"0")>yes<cfelse>no</cfif></cfif> If someone checks the box I get the sentence "Subscribe to e-newsletter? Yes" in an email. If someone does not check the box I get "Subscribe to e-newsletter?" I can't figure out how to get the "No" to show up in the email when the box is not checked. I feal like I'm close here but just can't seem to get the "No" answer emailed when the box is not checked. Thanks a lot for your help!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:356092 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
