Hi,

It would be perfect if Formlet is also able to save checkboxes state based solely on their value. Unfortunately Formlet is not able to select them.

Example Form (http://foundation.zurb.com/develop/download.html#customizeFoundation):

<input type="checkbox" name="scss_components[]" value="foundation/components/grid" checked="checked">
<input type="checkbox" name="scss_components[]" value="foundation/components/block-grid">

I have altered the saved bookmarklet so it is now able to select those checkboxes:

endsWith: function(str, suffix) {
  return str.indexOf(suffix, str.length - suffix.length) !== -1;
},
getElement: function(form, name, index, value) {
    var element;
    if (value && methods.endsWith(name, "[]")) {
      element = form.querySelector('input[name="'+name+'"][value="'+value+'"]');
    }
    else {
      element = form[name][index] || form[name];
    }
    return element;
},

Saved data now look like this:

"elements": [
        ["input-name[]", null, "input-value", "setChecked", true],
        ["scss_components[]", null, "foundation\\/components\\/grid", "setChecked", true],
        ["basic-input", null, null, "setValue", "Hello!"],
]

The code needs some polishing, but it works.

It would be great if you could build an enhancement around it and include it in the future release of Formlet.
