Hmm, I'm not sure then, but this is the way I've always known it to work.

Well, I don't know if you can get the variables in a hash, like in perl.
Another thing that sometimes works is:

<input type=hidden   name=box value=f>
<input type=checkbox name=box value=t>

When the tickbox is ticked, the browser will return two values named "box",
which *may* cancel out to give you your t/f combo.

Note this is extremely system specific and not guarenteed and not
recommended. But I have used it successfully on occasion.
