Description

Checkboxes seem to be always checked, because forms.js, in the gatherParameters method, always retrieve the value() of a checkbox. In jQuery val() always returns "on" for a checkbox, checked or not.

I think forms.js should test if the field is a checkbox and if it is checked, if not, return; on this field, just like it would be on a classic form.
