Checked checkbox = false

Hi there,

How would I go about setting up a field on a form, so that if someone checks the box, it's recorded as a "false" response, and if it is left unchecked, the response is recorded as "true".

Is that possible?

Thanks,

James

You should be able to flip them in the radio button or check box. But why not use a Yes/No?

Yes=FALSE
No=TRUE.

Rephrase the question? Haha, short of that you might have two fields - one for the form and one as the actual field. If someone marks the form field true, then use a data management campaign to change the actual field to false. And vice versa for false.

      Hi Dory - Sadly rephrasing the question isn't an option, although I did suggest it! ;) I think having two fields plus campaign could work. Thanks for the idea!

      Josh - a Yes/No might be the solution here. But if I did want to flip the check box, how could I make that work?

      @James G Simple stuff:

              form.onSubmit(function(form){
                  form.vals({
                      My_Checkbox__c : ( 'yes' == form.vals().My_Checkbox__c ? 'no' : 'yes' )
                  });        
              });

      Demo here.

        Simple to you, maybe Sanford! ;) 

        I'm going with Josh's idea of using a Select field type, and defining Yes to mean False and No to mean True.

        Thanks everyone for your input.

        OK... but I did provide code that is dirt-simple to use on your site!
