[thelist] .NET: help with a form parsing script

[Anthony Baratta]

This is exactly way I don't use the brain dead Web Controls in dotNet. ;-P How can you make a CheckBox without an HTML Value, even when you are explicitly giving it one in the dotNet Code? (argh.)

You might want to look at the ListItem.Attributes property, see if that helps or not.
