Specify checkbox unticked value

[Darren Lewis]

Is there a way to specify a checkbox's unticked value, or is the only option to use a yes/no radio button?

<input type="checkbox" name="name"  value="1" />

At present, the value of the unticked checkbox is NULL. I'd like it to be zero (I know it's a subtle difference, but I want the zero value to change a session variable, but the null value between pages should not alter the session).

Nope. Maybe

 <input type="hidden" name="name" value="0" />
 <input type="checkbox" name="name" value="1" />

works... didn't try that, tho.

[Darren Lewis]

Yes, that does work.

Thank you
