Re: [Wasp-users] Form Checkbox select checked (Flexy/Chuck)

[Joshua D. <jos...@op...>]

There's a number of approaches you could take, like not using 
flexy:ignore and wrapping each checkbox in a div or span with the 
flexy:if within that tag.  Or use the Smarty-esque 
{if:variable}{else:}{end:} syntax.

Personally I like using the bracket-based syntax as little as possible.
