That's not really a bug. In a browser, if a checkbox is not checked,
it isn't sent in the request (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.2.1)
The form validator uses basic input for validation, so checkboxes
won't be there if they are not checked.
If you want to always have the value of a checkbox in a webpy form,
you can use the "d" attribute like this:
myform = Form(
Checkbox('foo')
)
def POST(self):
f = myform()
if not f.validates():
...
if f.d.foo: # this will be 'None' if it wasn't checked on the page
...
Cheers,
Justin
