Manage checkbox values

Hello

I have some checkboxes in my Chronoforms (I mean checkboxes and not radio groups). Everything works perfectly but in the received email (from template) the value for this input is default to "ON" when a checkbox is checked. I would like to write "Yes" instead of "ON" in the email.

I'm about to add a hidden text input "associated" to each checkbox,and with some javascript in the onchange of each checkbox, give it the "Yes" value.

Is there any easier way to do this ?

Hi Loko,

I think that you can just edit your form HTML and change the value attributes for the checkboxes.

Hi bob

I'm not an HTML guru, but I never understood what the "value" parameter is for checkboxes. Whatever the status -checked or not- the value remains the same.

Try this simple example :

<form>
<input type="checkbox"  value="Yes" name="test" />
<input type="button" onclick="alert(test.value);" />
</form>

Hi loko,

Yes but it's the value (of the checked boxes) that gets sent back in the $_POST array and shows up in your email.

I still have not understood how I should do.

Where can I put a value for the checked status, and an other for the unchecked status ? And for the email to display the right one ?

Hi Loko,

If your checkbox is checked then $_POST includes the value; if it's not checked then $_POST has a blank entry.
