I always get the value of the hidden field, never from the checkbox, when I submit my form. I am using the last Zend Framework version ( but also also was happening the same in previous versions), Firefox 3 and PHP 5

How to test this:

In /forms I created a new form:

class Form_NewSystem extends Zend_Form {
    $decors = array(  
             array(array('Elem' => 'ViewHelper'), array('separator' => '')), // i reset the separators to get rid  
             array('Label', array('separator' => '')),                       // those unpredictable newlines  
             array('Errors', array('separator' => '')),                      // in the render output  
          );  

  $this->addElement('checkbox', 'active', array(
                     'label' => 'Active',
             'value' => '1',
                    'decorators' => $decors
                      ));

}

In the view:

<?= $this->form->active->renderLabel(); ?>
<?= $this->form->active->renderElem(); ?>

In the controller:

$form = new Form_NewSystem();
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
    print_r($request->getPost());
    if ($form->isValid($request->getPost())) {
         //do something here
       }
}
//....populating the form here

$form->setAction($this->_helper->url('edit'));
$this->view->form = $form;
$this->render('name of the view here');  

It doesn't matter if I check the checkbox or not, I always get the hidden value (by default 0). Also if I set different unCkecked value, the hidden field ignores it, and puts 0 instead!.

I really don't know what could be wrong..
