Checkboxes don't have a value attribute. They are either checked or not checked. Your two options are: <input type=checkbox name=whatever checked> <input type=checkbox name=whatever> That's all they do, other attributes will be ignored. In your template file, insert the string "checked" into your tag if the value corresponding to this box is true. If it isn't, don't. The code to do that in DTML and ZPT was posted earlier. When you process the form, use something like the following to get the value of your checkbox: my_box_value = REQUEST.form.get('my_checkbox_name', 0) If the box isn't checked, the name of the box may not be posted to your processing script. In that case, get() provides a not-found value of zero, corresponding to a "false" value you'd want to have received from an un-clicked checkboxes. Does that help? Dylan
