Hi,Is there anyway that I can change the initial unchecked value of a checkbox to something other that zero. I want to send a hex number to a mysql database which is different to the check value hex number. Hope you can help.
Thanks
Simon

Checkboxes are really there to indicate that an option has been selected. If you do not tick the tickbox then nothing is submitted.
However you could assign a default value for each checkbox, so if the user does not tick the box nothing will be sent - check for the presence of in the request.form collection and if it isn't there then assign whatever you want
