Question

I have a set of checkboxes on my web page. On Save, I serialize and POST the form.

<div>
<label for="ViewAsWebpage">
{{#if this.ViewAsWebpage}}
   <input type="hidden" id="ViewAsWebpage" name="ViewAsWebpage" value="true"/> 
   <input type="checkbox" class="enable-checkbox" checked /> 
{{else}}
   <input type="hidden" id="ViewAsWebpage" name="ViewAsWebpage"  value="false"/> 
   <input type="checkbox" class="enable-checkbox"  /> 
{{/if}}
<span>View as Webpage</span>
</label>
</div>

Using the above code:

• on GET – the checkboxes are checked/unchecked based on the property
  ViewAsWebpage
• on POST – whatever the user selects should be posted.

But when I POST, it is not sending the correct values. Can someone pls suggest the right way to do this?

Answer 1

Your <input type="checkbox"> elements are missing name attributes, so they won’t correspond to request parameters when you post the form.
