Correct, this is something you can't do. I suspect that at some point
you've had a <cfif> inside a plain HTML <input> tag, which is perfectly
fine. In this case the <input> tag is nothing but text to be spat out,
as far as CFML is concerned. On the other hand, <cfinput> is more akin
to a function call to be processed.
A direct analogue to what you'd like to do would be:
<cfif form.advertising>
<cfinput class="chkb" name="advertising" id="advertising"
type="checkbox" value="1" checked="checked">
<cfelse>
<cfinput class="chkb" name="advertising" id="advertising"
type="checkbox" value="1">
</cfif>
Luckily, according to the 6.1 docs that I just had a glance at:
CHECKED
Selects a control. No value is required.
Applies if type = "radio" or "checkbox".
Optional: you can enter the following values:
* true (equivalent to checked)
* false (equivalent to omitting the attribute)
In your case, what this means is that "checked" (the value you're giving
the attribute) is being parsed as 'true'. It also means that:
<cfinput class="chkb" name="advertising" id="advertising" type="checkbox"
value="1" checked="#form.advertising#">
is equivalent to the above.
