I created a CCk node type and using activeedit for editing the formof the node in tabs, i have a taxonomy field with multiple select checkboxes, but when i submit the form via ajax activeedit, all the items result marked. this only happend with checkboxes, apparently radio boxes don´t have the same problem. Any ideas of why?

When I tried to track down a similar issue (using Ajax in a different module), what I found is that un-selected checkboxes don't get submitted with a form (see http://drupal.org/node/236898).
This makes sense in the context of the historical development of http form processing, but how irritating from a modern, interactive web app. perspective :-\

Annoying, but not Drupal - this stems from the way html forms are submitted by http in general. There is a new module in development named "to do list" or something - I think they are implementing ajax-driven checkboxes, so perhaps they have a workaround.

If you find an answer, can you please post the solution or workaround here?
