You're right! I thought that sounded a little odd so I ran the following test: `<html><body> <form action="http://johnny.warp.psi.br/cgi-bin/test.pl"> <input type="text" name="field1"> <input type="checkbox" name="field2" value="on"> <input type="submit"> </form> </body> </html>` [download] If this form is submitted with everything blank, curiously the text input gets carried as null, but the checkbox is undef! QUERY_STRING : field1= I don't see where the consistency is here, but that was something I had never really noticed.	[reply] [d/l]
