[Zope] Trying to get Form/Checkbox value into Python Script

[Phil Harris]

Ronald,

You're not doing anything wrong.  That's how HTML Forms work.

They only pass the value of a checkbox back to the server if it is
selected, omission means false.

you can get the correct value with something like:

cbvalue=context.REQUEST.get('cb','defaultValue')
