CONSTRUCTOR

new PARAMS

Constructs a new Rose::HTML::Form::Field::Checkbox object based on PARAMS, where PARAMS are name/value pairs. Any object method is a valid parameter name.

OBJECT METHODS

checked [BOOL]

Check or uncheck the checkbox by passing a boolean value. If BOOL is true, the checkbox will be checked. If it is false, it will be unchecked. Returns true if the checkbox is checked, false otherwise.

hidden [BOOL]

Get or set a boolean value that indicates whether or not this checkbox will be shown in its parent checkbox group. Setting it to true also sets checked to false.

hide

Calls hidden, passing a true value.

html_checkbox

Returns the HTML serialization of the checkbox field only (i.e., without any label or error message)

is_checked

Returns true if the checkbox is checked, false otherwise.

is_on

Simply calls is_checked. This method exists for API uniformity between radio buttons and checkboxes.

show

Calls hidden, passing a false value.

value [VALUE]

Gets or sets the value of the "value" HTML attribute.

xhtml_checkbox

Returns the XHTML serialization of the checkbox field only (i.e., without any label or error message)

label_object

Returns the object representing the label for the checkbox.

Example:

  $field =
    Rose::HTML::Form::Field::Checkbox->new(
      label => 'Run tests',
      name  => 'tests',
      value => 'yes');

  $field->label_object->add_class('checkbox_label');
