Boolean input not getting set

[rwilder]

I'm having an issue where the true/false value of a checkbox on a form of mine is not getting set no matter if it's checked or unchecked. Is there a special way to set up boolean inputs in Miva?

<input id="myfield" class="flex-column__checkbox" type="checkbox" name="myfield" value="&mvte:global:myfield;">

You need to check if the value is there and then put the "checked" attribute in if it is.

<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL g.myfield">
  <input id="myfield" class="flex-column__checkbox" type="checkbox" name="myfield" value="&mvte:global:myfield;" checked>
<mvt:else>
  <input id="myfield" class="flex-column__checkbox" type="checkbox" name="myfield" value="&mvte:global:myfield;">
</mvt:if>

No, the problem isn't if it's checked (that it easily confirmed and works as expected for a checkbox), but that it does not modify the g.myfield... so it's always null no matter what the input is.

The value needs to be something no matter what, so put a 1 in there for the value instead of &mvte:global:myfield; - if the global myfield is null then you'll never get a value for the checkbox.

What's the context of the whole form?
