NAME

       HTML::FormHandler::Field::Checkbox - a checkbox field type

VERSION

       version 0.40050

DESCRIPTION

       This field is very similar to the Boolean Widget except that this field allows other
       positive values besides 1. Since unselected checkboxes do not return a parameter, fields
       with Checkbox type will always be set to the 'input_without_param' default if they do not
       appear in the form.

   widget
       checkbox

   checkbox_value
       In order to create the HTML for a checkbox, there must be a 'value="xx"'.  This value is
       specified with the 'checkbox_value' attribute, which defaults to 1.

   input_without_param
       If the checkbox is not checked, it will be set to the value of this attribute (the
       unchecked value). Default = 0. Because unchecked checkboxes do not return anything in the
       HTTP parameters, the absence of a checkbox key in the parameters hash forces this field to
       this value. This means that Checkbox fields, unlike other fields, will not be ignored if
       there is no input. If a particular checkbox should not be processed for a particular form,
       you must set 'inactive' to 1 instead.
