Well, I got one better:

<dtml-if check_box> The check box is checked! </dtml-if>

This works because if it's checked, then it's there. If it isn't checked, it isn't there, and it fails. So no output. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction.

Maybe something like <dtml-if "check_box and check_box == ('on')">, not sure though.

In my latest delimma, I've got the following snippet: <dtml-if expr="check_box == ('on')"> The check box is checked! </dtml-if> What I don't get: if the checkbox is checked in the form, then this works, and I get the output. If it isn't checked, then I get an error saying that the checkbox ("check_box" in the form) isn't defined. This is borne out as well by <dtml-var expr="REQUEST.form">, which shows a text box's name and the value that it holds (whether it holds a value or not), and the checkbox's name and value ('on'), when it's checked. If it isn't checked, it isn't there at all. So, I guess I'm going to have to look to see whether it's there or not, right? How would I do that? Thanks for the help!
