Alright, I figured out what I was doing. I didn't realize that checkboxes don't send anything if they are unchecked so I was calling an ajax() function in javascript to submit a form and always including the checkbox value regardless of if it was checked. Even if it was unchecked it still submitted the value. I had to put in some javascript to check if the checkbox was checked or not and then build the ajax() function accordingly. Sorry to waste your time with this. I am pretty new to all of this so sometimes I end up barking up the wrong tree. Thanks for you help.
