Ah, I see! (I've always used different names when needing to do that sort of thing). > HTML::FormFu handles this correctly. For a single form submission, maybe, but not for setting the "checked" attribute correctly in displayed forms. I just tried the form you suggested above, and it only displays the checkboxes correctly if there is no more than one checkbox selected (if more than one was selected, they all end up unchecked). The code in prepare_attrs() has expressions like '$value eq $original' and '$default eq $original' which (unless I'm missing something else again :-), don't allow for the possibility of more than one checkbox being selected. I'll have to rethink my proposal :-). Thanks for your example. Regards, -- Geoffrey D.
