Invalid Checkbox Values
How does one set the value of a checkbox to false or null for unchecked values?
If you use an if statement to check for true/false, you get true when the checkbox is checked (assuming that's the default true value) but you get a blank when it is unchecked. This renders the JavaScript invalid and kills the rest of the script inside that script tag.
If the value is checked, you get a rendered
If the value is not checked, you get
which is invalid.

You should be able to work around this by:

if (checkboxVal) { do this ...}

Inappropriate?Okay, thanks, that'll do. But please mark this as +1 for returning a boolean in a future update since "" == false returns true but "" === false returns false.
I’m happy
