There are two issues 1) when form is submitted variables go in request.post_var and request.vars not int request.get_vars 2)
when request.vars.DefaultTrue!=None => form.vars.defaultTrue==True when request.vars.DefaultTrue==None => form.vars.defaultTrue==False This is off but request.vars follows HTML conventions, form.vars follows database convention.
