Inputs inside Web Components do not submit nicely in forms

[orbo...@gmail.com]

I wanted to created a checkbox component that wrapped inside an input so that it sends the value when the form is submitted. After several tests, I realized that the form elements (button, select, input) that are placed inside a custom element are not submitted.

Is there a way to overcome this? I would expect custom elements to be able to play nice with forms.

Check out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24461460/polymer-form-post-data. That has an explanation and a few links to other relevant posts.

There's also a really nice ajax-form element garstasio@ put together:
