  MESSAGE:  (#2794) Checkboxes and Data Recycling 
            <http://www.phorm.com/support/?rev=2794>

I've been struggling with a checkbox problem on most of my forms and can use 
some guidance. For an example of the problem see 
http://washburnlaw.edu/formtest/ 

If a user hits Submit before completing all required fields, the data is 
recycled to the error page. Although no checkboxes are selected on the initial 
page, most of the checkboxes are checked on the error page (except for the 
final box). Below is a snippet of the code used in the 'Applications Accepted 
Via' section: 

<input type="checkbox" name="PosAppsViaMail"> Mail 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="PosAppsViaPhone"> Phone 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="PosAppsViaEmail"> Email 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="PosAppsViaFax"> Fax 

Note I am using a different name for each checkbox instead of an array and the 
ArrayToList function. I also am not assigning values as part of the <input> 
tag because my understanding of forms is the box is either on or off; even 
when I do something like value="Yes" the same problem occurs. 

I am processing this form with Phorm 3.0.5. What am I overlooking? (Thanks in 
advance.)
