Yes, :agreement is a field in my database. Should I remove it? In any case I did set the :accept => "true", but it didn't change anything. I get the same error when I submit the form whether or not the box is checked. The html shows:
<ul><div class="fieldWithErrors"><input checked="checked" id="agent_agreement" name="agent[agreement]" type="checkbox" value="1" /></div><div class="fieldWithErrors"><input name="agent [agreement]" type="hidden" value="0" /></div> Am I reading this right that after the checkbox value is set to "1" that then there is a hidden value that is setting it to "0"?
