Problem with checkboxes

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Have you checked the value of $item['startpage']? I trust that you have because it's the obvious thing to, but it's the only thing that could possibly be the problem.

Is there any reason why you can't use this code:

Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="startpage" class="mediumfield" <?=set_checkbox('startpage', '1'); ?> value="1" />

One more thing, (which I'm sure you've already confirmed), does your server support short tags?
