Checkbox Population

    Hi,

    As always, I apologise if this has been asked - I did research a lot before posting.

    I have two very similar forms built on GF that pass the data via the query string method. This seems to work well for everything apart from the checkboxes. All I need is a true or false value (boolean?) to be passed from form to form (so if the user checks the box, it appears checked on the other form).

    Here is the form: http://getawaysondisplay.com/internal-form. That will then send an email to the client with a link that populates the other form.

    I have tried this code: http://pastie.org/6014156. This seemed to sort of help - it outputted the labels of the previously selected checkboxes - but this isn't really what I'm looking for.

    Could anyone point me in the right direction?

    I use this in my query string to populate check boxes:
    http://gravity.chrishajer.com/family-reunion-rsvp/?st=Illinois,Indiana,Nevada,Alabama,Confusion

    That will populate the state checkboxes (which has a parameter name of 'st') with all those states pre-checked.

    To mark a single checkbox pre-checked, you will still need it to have a parameter name, and then you can send the value in the query string. For example:

    http://gravity.chrishajer.com/terms-of-service/?tos=Yes

    I have my single checkbox set up with a Value of "Yes" and a parameter name of "tos". When you send that in the query string, the box is pre-checked.

    Thanks very much for this - I actually came to almost the same solution yesterday. Could be useful for anyone with the same issue...
