Ha. Great minds stink alike. I just discovered this little setback
(after adding "id" attributes to about fifty checkboxes -- note to self:
check one before doing them all).
I've been messing with the map but it's messing with me. I can grab the
right node pretty easily, but then I can't seem to add the MetaData.
If you're looking to add an id, you can use checkbox_id:
SHtml.checkbox_id(user.isStupid, user.isStupid = _, Full("isStupid"))
which adds id="isStupid" to the checkbox input.
