cgicc bug?

[Claudio Alberto Andreoni]

A friend of mine suggested that I had better NOT to follow the W3C HTML 4.0
standard [setting the value of a checkbox (<input type="checkbox" name="cn" value="cv" />)]
and just do: cgicc.queryCheckbox("cn");
instead of: cgicc.queryCheckbox("cn"); string myvalue = cgicc.getElement("cn");
So I found another way to add a text value to a checkbox.
If not queried for values, the app works perfectly -breakdowns still happen if
I try to get the value of a checkbox-

Congratulations for the cool APIs

Claudio and group, my apologies for what may be an ignorant question. I found this thread by searching for
queryCheckbox(). I'm having trouble getting this function to return anything but FALSE.
I'm not having trouble getting the other functions to work, albeit fighting a learning curve.
My webpage has many checkboxes and many fields. I'm using dumpList() from the tutorials
to dump the variable list. What I notice is that when a checkbox is not checked, the variable
is not longer in the list. Either way, the result of the call to queryCheckbox() returns a FALSE.
Below is a small code snippet. Not sure what is wrong, I presume it is simpler than my cgiccmind
right now.
  char strig[20];
  string value, temp, temp1, temp2, temp3,temp4;
  int i;
  form_iterator name,stemp1, stemp2, stemp3,stemp4;



      for(i=0;i<MAX_FREQS;i++)
      {
            sprintf(strig,"LC_CHECK_BOX_%d",i+1);
            temp=strig;
            if(cgi.queryCheckbox(temp))
                  temp1="0";
            else

temp1="1";

             fprintf(in,"temp1 %d %s\n",i+1,temp1.c_str());
      }



Thanks for your assistance in advance.
