InvoiceSeparateCheckStatus

<Actinic:Variable Name="InvoiceSeparateCheckStatus"/>

Does anyone know where I can change the value of the above variable from CHECKED to not checked.

I actually want it to read:

<input type="checkbox" name="SEPARATESHIP" value="YES" />

instead of:

<input type="checkbox" <Actinic:Variable Name="InvoiceSeparateCheckStatus"/> name="SEPARATESHIP" value="YES" />

but without removing the actinic variable.

On the other hand I could comment it out and put in the non-variable version. I just want to know where the variable can have it's value altered.

the value="YES" portion of the input is what makes it checked. Change this to "NO" .

The value YES is just the value that will be sent to the next page and this should be set to "YES" in my case.

VALUE does not effect the checked state of checkboxes. If you want a checkbox to default to on, use CHECKED. Instead, VALUE sets the value that is sent to the server if the user checks that checkbox. For example, if you wanted the checkbox to send yessireebob you could set the checkbox like this:

<FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/mycgi.pl">

<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="join" VALUE="yessireebob">
yes, sign me up!

<P><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="join">
</FORM>

I can do it by inserting an input element without the actinic variable but I really want to know where the value of the variable lives. I know the current value is "CHECKED" but I want to set it to null.

For now I'm commenting out the original input element and using one of my own.
