Checkbox value not being submitted

[chris]

Hi,

For some reason the value of a checkbox in my form is not being submitted.
Here's my HTML:

Code:

<input type="checkbox" value="agreed" /> I agree to the <a href="terms.html">legal terms.</a>

Any insight as what I'm missing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Ah! Just include a "name" attribute on your input field, like this:

Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="has_agreed" value="agreed" /> ...

Hope this helps!

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the suggestion; however, it still doesn't seem to be submitting that value.
It's blank when I view the submission (see attached).

Not sure what else to try.

Thanks!

Is the field marked as a checkbox in the database? If so, on the Edit Form -> Fields tab, click the "Options" link for the field, then on the following page, click the "EDIT" button next to the option group dropdown. This will take you to a page that lists the values for that checkbox. In your case, it should be just one.

What I suspect is that there's no label for that field (i.e. the second column). Try entering a value, then returning to the export page. If all goes well, you should see that label show up for all submissions that have that checkbox checked.

Eesh... not my clearest post, but I hope you can make sense of it.

That worked. Thanks Ben!

No worries! Glad I could help.
