Checkbox fields don't email properly in IE, Firefox

Jon,

I just noticed that checkbox selections are not being emailed properly in all browsers except Chrome. The email that is sent to the site owner shows all checkbox fields as "on", when infact they were not selected.

I have tested this on Windows Firefox 3.5, IE 7 & 8, and Mac Firefox 3.6. It works fine on Chrome.

I know it's a long shot, but if this could get fixed by tomorrow it would be a huge help (I'm launching a site tomorrow evening). I wouldn't mind throwing a little donation your way.

Also, I was suppose to help style the emails a while back but have not had the chance. I usually put a fixed width on the columns and a light alternating background. If you're up to I can give a quick mockup or some HTML.

Thanks Jon, great work.

Wow, that's a pretty big deal. To fix it, try to add this to line 44 of PliableForm.js:
```
else if(this.type == "checkbox") {
   data[x] = this.checked;
}
```
I'll come out with a new package as soon as I can and maybe add some style to the submitted email. Not for sure that it will be tonight tho.

to make sure you know where to put it, here is new code insert with the context:

      else if(this.type == "select-one") {
        data[x] = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
      }
      else if(this.type == "checkbox") {
        data[x] = this.checked;
      }
      else {
        data[x] = this.value;
      }

BTW, it's going to show true/false now not on/off.
