Thanks for the response.  My form is not tied to a model and is 
generated dynamically.  But I have my submission button redirect to a 
view that displays the params - many fields that are skipped are NOT 
submitted as params.  I see now that is DOES submit empty text fields. 
But it does not submit empty radio button groups or checkboxes.  I need 
tall form elements as params even if they aren't checked / selected / 
filled out.  Since the forms are generated dynamically I cannot manually 
add empty fields on save.  So I guess my refined question is:

How do I force the submission of radio buttons / checkboxes if empty?
