handling checkbox attribute

[MilesTogoe]

there seems to be a problem with saving or updating a checkbox value.  is there a workaround ?

If a checkbox is not checked, it will not appear in the params list at all. So you need to explicitly check for it in your controller code.

Also be aware of this issue with checkboxes and multipart input in
merb edge -

A patch was submitted today that it's hoped will address this.

so I guess it's an erb thing? We're running Sinatra so wonder where
that leads us ? will there need to be a separate patch for Sinatra ?
I figured since it's between html and the model, it should be handled in
DM but could be wrong - do I need to post this in the Sinatra list ?

I believe the issue is with merb's multipart input parsing. I'm not
too familiar with Sinatra, but I wouldn't think this would affect that.
